Jan 29, 2011 at 5:46 comment added jasonb Agreed, I should have got more ruby people to look at the book before I published it. I simply ran out of time, and in your eyes, it makes the work less professional. To be fair, it is not a ruby book, it is an AI book. From this perspective, the use of rubyisms is important but should be metered by the requirements of good communication (ability for non-ruby people to parse and port to their preferred language). The book is on github, I'd love to see a ruby-purist version of the sample code!!!! In fact, I'd really love to link to a "jason" and "purist" versions of each algorithm on the web.

Jan 28, 2011 at 12:55 comment added sepp2k Please format your code using the code button in the format bar, not pre-tags. The way it is now, some of the code won't display because of < and > characters in it.

Jan 28, 2011 at 7:47 comment added Mike Bethany I'm just agreeing all over the place with you glebm. It's a bit insulting really. Like if I wrote a book on Middle East politics and US foreign policy but didn't bother to consult with experts on the matter. Oh well, at least the book is free in PDF form.
Jan 28, 2011 at 7:17 comment added glebm Looked at your book, algorithm-wise - good explanations. but you should've asked a rubyist to take a look at the code before it got published :(
