Topics covered include:
Simple data tasks; Manipulating structured data; External data manipulation; User interfaces; Handling threads; System programming; Network and web programming; Tools and utilities.Note: The appendices offer instruction on migrating from Perl and Python to Ruby, and extending Ruby in C and C++.
