Practical Ruby Gems, Second Edition is a comprehensive guide written to equip Ruby programmers and web developers with the knowledge and skills to effectively utilize existing Gems - and also create new Gem releases, allowing easy distribution, dependency management, and streamlined integration.
The modernized Second Edition is updated to reflect the latest version of Ruby Gems (7.0.4) and Ruby language (3.2). The author introduces new software tools and systems like Bundler, Docker, and Nix, demonstrating how to integrate them seamlessly with Ruby Gems, as well as a significantly expanded section on how to create your own gems – including practical examples of problems faced in real-world scenarios.
