This is the home page of the
project to translate into English the Ruby Hacking Guide. The RHG is a book
that explains how the ruby interpreter (the official C implementation of
the Ruby language) works internally.
To fully understand it, you need a good knowledge of C and Ruby. The
original book includes a Ruby tutorial (chapter 1), but it has not been
translated yet, and we think there are more important chapters to translate
first. So if you have not done it yet, you should read a book like the
Pickaxe first.
Please note that this book was based on the source code of ruby 1.7.3 so
there are a few small differences to the current version of ruby. However,
these differences may make the source code simpler to understand and the
Ruby Hacking Guide is a good starting point before looking into the ruby
source code. The version of the source code used can be downloaded here: i.loveruby.net/ja/rhg/ar/ruby-rhg.tar.gz.
Many thanks to RubyForge for hosting us and to Minero AOKI for letting us
translate his work.
