RubyWzorce projektowe Author: Russ Olsen My adventure with Ruby books started with “The Ruby Programming Language” . To be honest, it wasn’t quite what I was looking for at the time. But “Design Patterns in Ruby” filled that gap perfectly. It provides a quick and effective introduction to the language, which is perfect if you’re already familiar with another programming language and don’t need a primer on the basics. The book then iteratively explores various programming problems and presents idiomatic Ruby solutions. I particularly enjoyed the section on composition versus inheritance, which clarified why building deep object hierarchies isn’t always the best approach. That was a lightbulb moment for me; I finally grasped the benefits of interfaces and felt like I’d become a more capable developer after reading it. The examples were clear and the exercises were engaging. ...

RubyProgramowanie Authors: David Flanagan, Yukihiro Matsumoto I picked up this book, co-authored by Ruby creator Yukihiro “Matz” Matsumoto, to learn Ruby for my work with Chef. As a deep dive into the language’s internals, it brilliantly explains why Ruby is a top choice for creating Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) like those used in Vagrant and Chef. The book meticulously covers the language’s core, which gave me a solid understanding of its architecture. ...

Perełki oprogramowaniaSeria Klasyka informatyki Author: Jon Bentley I’ve read few books about algorithms, but this one was my favorite. It’s not a handbook/manual style, where you have all algorithms explained - it’s rather a feast for though. From this book I learned principles like: “divide and conquer” (or how I prefer it: whatever you can, divide by two 😄). It might not be that obvious at first, but practical use cases are unlimited. My personal favorite is hanging the curtains: you start at edges, then in the middle, then you divide again and again until you have them perfectly symmetric. Of course, the most common use case are sorting algorithms, but even with those understanding why Quick Sort is not the best one, and Heap Sort wins competition allowed me to surprise many people from DBAs to Senior Software Engineers - they didn’t know! ...

Zarządzanie czasemStrategie dla administratorów systemów Author: Thomas Limoncelli This book was my first introduction to task management and “Getting Things Done” methodology. At this time I was still a student, and as it was referenced in this book I was performing backups of servers on the tapes (HP LTO). So this small tip on how often to change tapes, made my life easier. I also implemented Nagios in the company where I was working to improve monitoring. I also ...
