Part of the JONES AND BARTLETT SERIES IN BIOMEDICAL INFORMATICS

Once again, Jules J. Berman provides biomedical researchers and hospital professionals with an introduction to a time-saving programming language.  In this new how-to manual, Berman expertly guides  both experienced and inexperienced programmers through the Ruby programming language.  Ruby Programming for Medicine and Biology opens with three chapters of Ruby language instruction followed by discussions of 100 ruby scripts covering the most common computational tasks in the field of biomedicine.  With helpful explanations of how scripts work, and how they might be implemented in real-world situations, readers will become familiar with this free, open source, object-oriented programming language that is quickly gaining momentum within the bioinformatics community.
