Title: | An introduction to scripting in Ruby for biologists | Authors: | AERTS, Jan Law, A. |
Issue Date: | 2009 | Publisher: | Source: | BMC BIOINFORMATICS, 10 (1) (Art N° 221) | Abstract: | 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. | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/33830 | Link to publication/dataset: | http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-68949101334&partnerID=MN8TOARS | ISBN: | 14712105 | ISSN: | 1471-2105 | e-ISSN: | 1471-2105 | DOI: | 10.1186/1471-2105-10-221 | ISI #: | 000269420100001 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution |
