Ruby Hacking Guide Translation

dubstep · January 17, 2011, 12:47pm

I’d like to continue the translation of the “Ruby Hacking Guide” by
Minero A…

Here’s the partially translated English version:
http://rhg.rubyforge.org/
and my translation of chapter 1:

skra/ruby-hacking-guide/blob/master/en/chapter01.txt


Translated by Sebastian Krause

h1. Chapter 2: A Minimal Introduction to Ruby

Here the Ruby prerequisites are explained, which one needs to know
in order to understand the first section.
I won't point out programming techniques or points one should be 
careful about. So don't think you'll be able to write Ruby programs just because
you read this chapter. Readers who have prior experience with Ruby
can skip this chapter.

We will talk about grammar extensively in the second section, hence
I won't delve into the finer points of grammar here. From hash literals
and such I'll show only the most widely used notations. On principle 
I won't omit things even if I can. This way the syntax becomes more simple.
I won't always say "We can omit this".

h2. Objects

This file has been truncated. show original

which is in itself a nice summary of Ruby concepts)

My English and Japanese is sufficient to get a translation out but I
would greatly appreciate any kind of help. Especially

-English native speakers: proofreading
-Japanese native speakers: help on difficult passages
-Any advice and corrections on the subject material.
-The guide was written for ruby1.7, updates for ruby1.9?

Cheers
Sebastian

Seems good job.
I’d like to do something but sorry I know nothing about Japanese.

I know there was some work done on it once:

Also isn’t there a “new” RHG for 1.9 somewhere?
