What's New and Shiny in Ruby 1.8.0?

Hi,

just want to say “hello” to the group !

I just entered the Ruby sphere :slight_smile:

…and it seems, that I have entered it one or two days to late,
since there is already a “What’s New and Shiny in Ruby
1.8.0?”-thread, which is exactly what I wanted to ask first :O)

Is there any mail archive ?

…or may be a uptodate language reference

…or something to update my currently very limited knowledge of this
language?

I have already (most?) of the “Prgramming Ruby”- or “Learning
Ruby”-tutorials, but they are all not as new as Ruby 1.8.0 (which
whould not be understood as any form of critism !)

What I need is something like a reference.

Can anyone help or point me to anything helpful?

Thank you very much in advance !

Kind regards,
Meino

Here are some useful links for you…

Mailing list archives for English-language list
(going back to Dec 98). Shortly after the newsgroup
comp.lang.ruby was created, a two-way mirror was
put in place, so virtually all of c.l.r is also
archived there

www.ruby-lang.org
Main Ruby site; also location of the Ruby Application Archive,
which is the principal repository of Ruby apps, libraries, and
documentation

A wonderful wiki-based site, rich in content

www.rubyforge.org
A new site. Like SourceForge, but strictly for Ruby.

The Ruby site of the Pragmatic Programmers; some great articles
and links; home of the one-click Windows installer and home of
the online version of Programming Ruby (aka the Pickaxe Book).

A permanent home for Ruby Central, responsible among other things
for the annual International Ruby Conference. Go there and
register now for the upcoming conference in Austin in mid-November!

www.rubyhacker.com
My own site. A page of info on The Ruby Way, including errata,
sample chapter, and so on; a couple of Powerpoint presentations;
and other miscellany.

DISCLAIMER: There are other excellent Ruby resources. I just got
tired of typing here, and my memory fails me. If your site is not
listed, don’t be offended. Plug it yourself!

So… go wild, my friend. :slight_smile:

Cheers,
Hal
