About the Book
Ruby is awesome!
Ruby is one of the most dynamic, expressive programming languages ever created. It allows you to write clean, intention-revealing code. It's also fun to learn.
What's in the book?
This book takes apart a web page, rebuilds it in Ruby, and explores how its structure can be used to understand various object-oriented programming concepts.
Learn how to program!
If you have experience with HTML and you want to learn how to program, pickup a copy. It's a short read that will get you started on your coding journey.

About the Author
Hi,
My name is Patrick J. Sparrow. I'm a web developer with nearly 10 years of programming experience. I have worked with non-profit organizations, universities, marketing firms, startups, and other small businesses on projects including websites, desktop applications, e-commerce shopping carts, mobile application backends, event management systems, language translators, and more. I even have code running on underwater testing devices in Japan!
I first learned how to build web pages using a collection of objects that could be converted into HTML. Now, I want to reverse that idea and teach those who already know how to build web pages to write code by constructing a similar set of objects. I hope you will join me on this journey as we learn how to build a web page without writing any HTML!
Thanks,
Pat
