Kurzbeschreibung
Want to build native Mac OS X applications with a sleek, developer-friendly alternative to Objective-C? MacRuby is an ideal choice. This in-depth guide shows you how Apple's implementation of Ruby gives you access to all the features available to Objective-C programmers. You'll get clear, detailed explanations of MacRuby, including quick programming techniques such as prototyping. Perfect for programmers at any level, this book is packed with code samples and complete project examples. If you use Ruby, you can tap your skills to take advantage of Interface Builder, Cocoa libraries, the Objective-C runtime, and more. If you're a Cocoa developer, you'll learn how to improve your productivity with MacRuby. * Get up to speed on MacRuby basics, including classes and methods * Learn how to use MacRuby with Apple's Xcode developer suite * Delve into the primitive object classes and data types in Foundation Kit * Build event-driven user interfaces with the AppKit framework * Handle relational object persistence with the Core Data framework * Use advanced MacRuby techniques, including concurrency and sandboxing * Get examples for applications using Twitter and a location web service * Embed MacRuby into existing Objective-C applications

Very useful

Format:Taschenbuch
If you are:
- a Ruby developer who would like to learn Cocoa and program for the Mac
or
- a Cocoa Mac developer who would like to learn programming with Ruby
then you could do a lot worse than reading Matt Aimonetti's book. It gets exactly what's useful by focusing on programming for Mac, on the Mac, using MacRuby. So it doesn't want to teach you Ruby or Cocoa. There are other books for that. Instead it focuses on the specific stuff:
- What's different when programming in Ruby from programming in Objective-C
- How to use Mac tools, e.g. Xcode, to develop in Ruby for the Mac
- How the MacRuby runtime is using and integrates with the Objective-C runtime
- How to call Ruby code from Objective-C and back
- How to benefit from the interpreted nature of Ruby within a Cocoa app
and so on.
A very interesting look into what the future of Mac programming (and hopefully iOS). It helped me get up to speed very quickly with MacRuby (now included with OS X Lion) and saved me a *lot* of time, probably weeks. I am an inexperienced Ruby programmer, but a seasoned Cocoa programmer. I think that it would be equally useful to an experienced Ruby programmer getting started with Mac development.
Highly recommended

A Review of MacRuby: The Definitive Guide by Matt Aimonetti; O'Reilly Media
2. Februar 2012
Format:Taschenbuch
Ever since I first started programming, I've been fascinated with all of those other languages that I hadn't learned. Many of them I loved, like Python and Java; many I subsequently took up regularly, like Objective-C and Processing; a few I just never could get used to. I'm thinking in particular about Ruby. Some people love Ruby, and most of them will constantly sing its praises, but me? I could just never get into it. Maybe it's the ultra-simplified syntax or the lack of terminating symbols, but Ruby and I just never clicked.
When I got MacRuby: The Definitive Guide by Matt Aimonetti I thought there was some chance things had changed between me and Ruby, especially via MacRuby, Apple's implementation of Ruby. It runs natively in the Objective-C runtime, but provides programmers with an alternative to Objective-C, a language that is extremely verbose, and somewhat notoriously difficult to learn.
Mr. Aimonetti's book is well written, and he even begins the instructional part of the book by saying that rather than making the reader "wade through MacRuby's history, the technical aspects of the implementations, and their pros and cons" he will begin by having us start coding. I think this is a great approach, since information on these topics is hard difficult to come by. This way, I can get right down to it. The book then had me write a tiny program to create a very OS X-like take on the traditional "Hello World" program, followed by an explanation of what you've just done. Here I feel Mr. Aimonetti commits a slight faux pas: he doesn't explain exactly where I need to enter the code he presents until after the code snippet, which is not just a line or two, but actually rather long. This happens right after he discusses the installation of MacRuby, and my assumption was that I should add the code to a new MacRuby XCode project; instead, I was supposed to save it in a HelloWorld.rb file. Still, this is pretty minor and is probably just a stylistic decision.
The rest of the book took me through first some Ruby fundamentals, followed by XCode-specific bits like connecting user input, followed by some Cocoa-specific framework discussion. Mr. Aimonetti goes step by step through every aspect of MacRuby programming, finishing with some practical examples, and some discussion of how to include MacRuby code in Objective-C projects, and vice-versa. It's interesting, as an Objective-C programmer, to go through what seems to me almost like alternate universe ways of doing all of things that I typically do using plain old Objective-C. I would suggest to anyone considering this book who isn't already familiar with Objective-C that they also investigate O'Reilly's excellent Programming iOS5 by Matt Neuburg, a book that parallels this one rather well. As a matter of fact, I'd suggest that a prospective reader make sure that know at least a tiny amount of information about Objective-C, Cocoa, and XCode to start with.
So did this book convert me? Having read it, do I love Ruby, like so many of my colleagues? Nah, not really. Personally, I still have the same issues with Ruby that I always did. But that's not due to any shortcoming of Matt Aimonetti's book. I found it to be an interesting read, and that it was well written and organized. It's also extremely comprehensive, covering just about everything there is to know about MacRuby.

An excellent resource for learning MacRuby

I already "know" MacRuby and wasn't really looking for a tutorial so much as I was looking to support the author of this book by buying a copy, but having done so, I was more than pleasantly surprised by the quality of the writing, the easy way in which topics are introduced, and the programming examples sprinkled throughout. MacRuby is only useful for developing OS X applications, so folks looking to do iOS (iPhone / iPad) apps will probably not find this book to be useful, but it's otherwise an excellent language for both rapid prototyping and deploying apps on OS X, and you couldn't have a finer introduction to the language and its unique strengths than this book!
