Advanced Ruby Features

Course details

Ruby contains a number of features for advanced data management including advanced arrays, regular expressions, accessors, and virtual attributes. In this course, you'll learn about the use of these features. You'll also learn about overloading and overriding methods, and adding methods to classes and objects. You'll explore features such as open classes, ducktyping, and class hooks, as well as immutability and marshaling. Finally, you'll learn about networking in Ruby, as well using GetOptLong, and idiomatic Ruby.
