Good Ruby Books in Japanese?

Ruby
1

Hello,

I have been using Ruby for seven years now, and started to learn
Japanese
in the last months–so I am wondering whether there’s a good recent book
on Ruby in Japanese–I figure this might be the fastest way to learn to
read. :slight_smile:

Best wishes,

Sven

The Japanese translation of the O’Reilly book The Ruby P.ming

You might also try online resources like オブジェクト指向スクリプト言語 Ruby.
In particular, the mailing lists
(メーリングリスト) could be
interesting.

I have a LOT of japanese ruby books. They publish smaller cheaper
books so there is a lot more of them. Here is a quick dump of my ruby
shelf, including japanese and english books (hrm… ASINs aren’t
easily available, sorry. lemme know if you want those):

Are you saying that Japanese books are smaller (in length, I assume)
than others? Why is that?

Sven-san!

The new Ruby book by Flanagan and Matsumoto (in Japanese)

The one on Distributed Ruby

From here, you may find links to other Ruby books in Japanese…

length, height, and depth… they don’t seem to do the 900 page
monsters that we do in the US. I’d guess that they’re higher quality
too since there is less breadth per book.

Well, I cannot read that scattered tea. I’m not into divination. But
perhaps you can :wink:

Thanks

That’s one way to call them. However, “ruby” probably means any
pronunciation small print while ふりがな (see my paste-fu :wink: refers
specifically to small print of pronunciation of Japanese Kanji.

The Ruby markup in HTML could be used for any explanation text,
though. Unfortunately, the markup is not well supported in browsers.
Firefox needs a separate plugin for rendering ruby text. I don’t know
about other browsers, Firefox is the only reasonably crossplatform
thing resembling a web browser I could find.

Thanks
