Product Description
Everyone in the Ruby world seems to be talking about metaprogramming--how you can use it to remove duplication in your code and write elegant, beautiful programs. Now you can get in on the action as well.

Learning metaprogramming doesn't have to be difficult or boring. By taking you on a Monday-through-Friday workweek adventure with a pair of programmers, Paolo Perrotta helps make mastering the art of metaprogramming both straightforward and entertaining.
The book is packed with:
Whether you're a Ruby apprentice on the path to mastering the language or a Ruby wiz in search of new tips, this book is for you.

A very good read if you're jumping into metaprogramming,
By
This review is from: Metaprogramming Ruby: Program Like the Ruby Pros (Facets of Ruby) (Paperback)
Really good introduction to the metaprogramming capabilities of Ruby. It's quite an easy read as the author wrote the book as a conversation between two developers (in a few places of the book this is taken a bit to the extreme, but it's ok).One thing I loved about this book is the number of examples taken from active open-source projects. I think this is a *great* idea as it invites the reader to download the code from those libraries and see how metaprogrammig is used in the wild. I think this is an excellent book for someone who has little or no background about the metaprogramming features of ruby.

This review is from: Metaprogramming Ruby: Program Like the Ruby Pros (Facets of Ruby) (Paperback)
Very interesting book, that goes deep into Ruby concepts, shows a lot of dynamic programming magic. But all of these, in very clean and simple style, which makes reading this book nothing but pleasure.

a book "to read",
This review is from: Metaprogramming Ruby: Program Like the Ruby Pros (Facets of Ruby) (Paperback)
It's a very good book "to read". It's not just a bunch of techniques or code snippets but a nice and interesting book that teach you how to think "like a ruby pro".Just like many collegues and friends of mine i haven't bought a paper book sice a long time but i really recommend it to all of you interested into Ruby and metaprogramming techniques. It's also a funny book and you'll never get bored. If you think this review to be more suitable to a novel instead of an IT book than you can understand it's a "must have" :)
