⚠️ 🚧 Work in progress - it'll take a long while to translate whole book from Python to Ruby, stay tuned...

Think Ruby Build

• LaTeX source, code examples, and exercise solutions
  • Based on Think Python, 2nd edition, by Allen Downey which can be downloaded in PDF from Green Tea Press or bought in paper and other formats from O'Reilly Media.
  • Stopped LaTeX version at Files chapter (Preface and chapter 4 still not converted, plus there are pending todos) - the sep2018_latex_version tag marks this point
• Going forward, translation would be based on markdown source
• For contributing guidelines, see #1

Motivation

• An attempt to translate the wonderful Think Python to Think Ruby
• Help me learn and understand Ruby better
• Forced to learn LaTeX is a bonus

Build instructions

• To build the book from LaTeX source you will need a LaTeX installation
• TeX Live distribution is recommended with the following packages:
  • texlive-latex-base
  • texlive-latex-extra
  • texlive-fonts-recommended
