  Book Information

Wicked Cool Ruby Scripts is a compendium of scripts that
will make your life easier by saving you time and solving
problems. If you find yourself wasting effort and time on a
task a trained monkey could do, it's time for Ruby to come
to the rescue.

Wicked Cool Ruby Scripts provides carefully selected Ruby
scripts that are immediately useful. Learn how to streamline
administrative tasks like renaming files, disabling
processes, and changing permissions. After you get your feet
wet creating basic scripts, author Steve Pugh will show you
how to create powerful Web crawlers, security scripts,
full-fledged libraries and applications, and much more. With
each script you'll get the raw code followed by an
explanation of how it really works, as well as instructions
for how to run the script and suggestions for customizing
it. Wicked Cool Ruby Scripts will save you from the tedium
of repetitive tasks and give you back the time it would take
to write scripts from scratch.
