IronRuby places Ruby as a first-class .NET programming language, with full access to all the features, components, and frameworks available from C# and VB.NET. The new Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR) bridges the gap between the IronRuby code and the Common Language Runtime (CLR)-the .NET virtual machine-while preserving the "duck typing," metaprogramming, code generation, and other dynamic language features that draw developers to Ruby. IronRuby in Action offers a comprehensive, hands-on introduction to this exciting new tool. Designed primarily for .NET developers who want to use Ruby, this book quickly introduces the Ruby language and walks you through the core concepts of programming in a dynamic language.
