What Readers Are Saying About The dRuby Book

The dRuby Book is a fantastic introduction to distributed programming in Ruby for all levels of users. The book covers all aspects of dRuby, including the principles of distributed programming and libraries and techniques to make your work easier. I recommend this book for anyone who is interested in distributed programming in Ruby and wants to learn the basics all the way to advanced process coordination strategies.

dRuby is the key component that liberates Ruby objects from processes and machine platforms. Masatoshi himself explains its design, features, case studies, and even more in this book.

dRuby naturally extends the simplicity and power Ruby provides. Throughout this book, Rubyists should be able to enjoy a conversation with dRuby that makes you feel as if your own thoughts are traveling across processes and networks.

Any programmer wanting to understand concurrency and distributed systems using Ruby should read this book. The explanations and example code make these topics approachable and interesting.

A fascinating and informative look at what is classically a total pain in the neck: distributed object management and process coordination on a single machine or across a network.
