RUBY RED INTEGRATION!!

Are you an experienced enterprise developer who knows Java, C#, or C++, but doesn't know much about Ruby? If you are, then this book is for you. Author Maik Schmidt, has done an outstanding job of writing a book that shows you Ruby's strengths and how Ruby helps you accomplish many tasks much faster, more elegantly, and with more fun than with any other programming language available today.

Schmidt, begins by showing you not only how to directly manipulate different types of databases, but also how to access the musing more advanced tools such as object-relational mappers and database abstraction layers. Then, the author covers the most important XML-processing requirements. Next, he shows you how to use plain sockets and pure HTTP to separate concerns and to distribute business logic across process boundaries. The author also demonstrates the usage of protocol standards. Finally, he shows you how to overcome internationalization problems, how to create sophisticated logging strategies, how to create your own daemon processes, and how to automatically deploy your software.

In this most excellent book, the author does not talk about sophisticated messaging patterns. More importantly, the author covers the basics.
