ruby - doc

The rubyobjc.com Ruby documentation project is an effort by the Ruby community to provide complete and accurate documentation for the Ruby programming language.

Below are web log entries with news and announcements concerning documentation efforts.

On the right, you'll find a set of links for assorted documentation, including online books, articles, and API references.

If you are interested in helping the documentation process, there is a rubyobjc mailing list. You can subscribe to the mailing list by sending a request to [email protected], with a message body in the following format:
