Practical Ruby for System Administration
Ruby is a programming language that's taking the open source world by storm. It's similar to both Perl and Python in terms of its potential uses but books about Ruby have already overtaken both Perl and Python books in sales volume.
This book is the first to describe using Ruby for general system administration tasks, which is a natural
use of the language. It caters to a vast reader base of administrators who are taking tentative steps toward using Ruby in this way, or are considering making the move and would like to learn more. General Rubyists will also find it appealing.
