09 Aug 2005 If you're writing production code in Ruby and haven't been exposed to optimization strategies, discover the methodology for profiling and optimizing code written in Ruby. Learn how to profile and optimize Ruby code with RubyInline and ZenOptimize, two tools that make this process easier.
Prerequisites
If you don't already know Ruby, the Resources area contains links to tutorials, books, and other literature to get you started. Ruby is easy to read, though, and you can probably bootstrap yourself while you're working through this tutorial.
System requirements
This tutorial is written for the beginning Ruby programmer. To complete it successfully, you should have Ruby installed on your system, and you need some experience with the language. If you're on a Linux or Mac OS X machine, you're almost certainly covered for the first prerequisite. If your distribution doesn't ship with Ruby, it's easy to build from source, but you should let the distributor know that you want it in the next release. If you're working on a Microsoft® Windows® system, it has a nice one-click installer.
