This book is for curious people who are eager to learn some of the most fundamental topics of computer and software engineering. The topics presented in this books, although very interesting in author's opinion, are some of the most underrated and least discussed fields of computer programming. This book is about the old technology, the technology we are using everyday, but we refuse to learn and extend as an average engineer. The literature around each of those topics is so large that, only specialists will ever be motivated to learn them. The Super Programmer is for the programmers who don’t want to limit their knowledge and skills on a very narrow area of software engineering. The Super Programmer is for programmers who can’t sleep at night when they don’t exactly understand how something in their computer works. The Super Programmer is all about ideas, and how they have evolved through time, leading to the impressive technology we have today. I wanted this book to have least dependency to technologies, so that the codes do not get obsolete over time. I first thought of writing the codes in some pseudo-coding language, but I personally believe that pseudo-codes are not coherent enough, so I decided to choose and stick with a popular language like Python, which as of today, is a programming language that is known by many other engineers and scientists.

Scripting and automation tasks often need to extract particular portions of text from input data or modify them from one format to another. This book will help you learn Ruby Regular Expressions, a mini-programming language for all sorts of text processing needs. The book heavily leans on examples to present features of regular expressions one by one. It is recommended that you manually type each example and experiment with them. Make an effort to understand the sample input as well as the solution presented and check if the output changes (or not!) when you alter some part of the input and the command. As an analogy, consider learning to drive a car — no matter how much you read about them or listen to explanations, you'd need practical experience to become proficient. Exercises are included to test your understanding. Reference solutions are also provided. You should be familiar with programming basics. You should also have a working knowledge of Ruby syntax and features like string formats, string and Enumerable methods.

Ruby is one of the most important programming languages in use for web development. It powers the Rails framework, which is the backing of some of the most important sites on the web. The Pickaxe Book, named for the tool on the cover, is the definitive reference on Ruby, a highly-regarded, fully object-oriented programming language. This updated edition is a comprehensive reference on the language itself, with a tutorial on the most important features of Ruby - including pattern matching and Ractors - and describes the language through Ruby 3.3. Would you like to go from first idea to working code much, much faster? Do you currently spend more time satisfying the compiler instead of your clients or end users? Are you frustrated with demanding languages that seem to get in your way instead of helping you get the work done? Are you using Rails and want to dig deeper into the underlying Ruby language? If so, then we've got a language and book for you! This comprehensive reference manual for Ruby includes a description of the most important standard library modules, built-in classes, and modules. It also includes all the new and changed syntax and semantics introduced through Ruby 3.2, including pattern matching and Ractors, and describes the language through Ruby 3.3.

Software applications have taken over our lives. We use and are used by software many times a day. Nevertheless, we know very little about the invisibly ubiquitous workers who write software. Who are they and how do they perceive their own practice? How does that shape the ways in which they collaborate to build the myriad of apps that we use every day? Coderspeak provides a critical approach to the digital transformation of our world through an engaging and thoughtful analysis of the people who write software. It is a focused and in-depth look at one programming language and its community – Ruby - based on ethnographic research at a London company and conversations with members of the wider Ruby community in Europe, the Americas and Japan. One of the philosophies of the Ruby language (and of its community) is that there are many ways of doing something. Everything is open for modification in Ruby. Elements that most language designers wouldn’t allow programmers to change, Ruby allows. With Ruby you are free to add what you want – although, as we’ll see, not everyone agrees that’s a good idea. Being able to extend the language is key to Ruby’s philosophy, however, and blocks are a key structure for the programmer to exercise this freedom to extend the language. A block can do anything: that’s why it is the one mandatory structure in the Ruby language. If you think in blocks, then Ruby is for you. It fits your brain and it makes you happy.

Unlock productivity and master version control with the complete guide on rebasing in Git. Rebase is an ebook that originally should complement our “Git Master Class” at thoughtram. We thought it would be a cool idea to hand it out to our students once they are done with their training. The invention of Git was by all means one of the best things that happened to the software industry in the past decades. It’s not that we haven’t had version control before. In fact, most of us were happily using SVN or other version control systems before we made the switch. We didn’t know how much better things could get. On the other hand, I’ve never met anyone who wanted to go back to SVN after grokking the full power of git. This book is about its most powerful feature: Rebasing. Everything you’ve learned so far in this book should already give you a head start when it comes to using git on a daily basis. Even if you stick to simply adding, committing and merging changes, with the in-depth knowledge you’ve acquired, you’ll no longer use these tools and commands without having a good understanding of what’s actually happening. This book is intended as a guide for people who are already familiar with Git. While a deep understanding of git isn’t necessary to use this book, it’s most likely beneficial to have some experience in using some of its basic commands such as adding, commit, pushing and merging changes. There is however a good walk-through of some of Git internals that should put everyone on the same page when it comes to fundamentals.
