From the publisher

Ruby has set the world on fire. More and more people are discovering that Ruby's flexibility, superb feature set, and gentle learning curve make it a natural choice for system administration tasks, from the humblest server to the largest enterprise deployment. This book teaches readers the Ruby way to construct files, tap into clouds of data, build domain-specific languages, perform network traffic analysis, and more. Coverage places equal emphasis on fundamental Ruby concepts as well as practical how-tos. In addition, the book uses examples from other languages to ease the transition to Ruby.

Based on author Andr Ben Hamou's own experiences working as a system administrator, this book will help readers pick up practical tips on Ruby coding style, learn how to analyze and improve script performance, and make use of no-nonsense advice on scripting workflow, including testing, documentation, and version control.
