:warning: :construction: 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](https://greenteapress.com/wp/think-python-2e/) or bought in paper and other formats from [O'Reilly Media](http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920045267.do).

  * Stopped LaTeX version at Files chapter (Preface and chapter 4 still not converted, plus there are pending todos) - the [sep2018_latex_version](https://github.com/learnbyexample/ThinkRubyBuild/releases/tag/sep2018_latex_version) tag marks this point

* Going forward, translation would be based on markdown source

* For contributing guidelines, see https://github.com/learnbyexample/ThinkRubyBuild/issues/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
