Τίτλος: An introduction to scripting in Ruby for biologists.
Πηγή: BMC Bioinformatics. 2009, Vol. 10, p221-229. 9p.
Θεματικοί όροι: *Ruby (Computer program language)
Περίληψη: The Ruby programming language has a lot to offer to any scientist with electronic data to process.Not only is the initial learning curve very shallow, but its reflection and meta-programming capabilities allow for the rapid creation of relatively complex applications while still keeping the code short and readable. This paper provides a gentle introduction to this scripting language for researchers without formal informatics training such as many wet-lab scientists. We hope this will provide such researchers an idea of how powerful a tool Ruby can be for their data management tasks and encourage them to learn more about it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
