Ruby Under a Microscope

Introduction

To understand how Ruby works, read its C source code. After learning each part of Ruby's internal implementation we perform an experiment and use Ruby to test itself.

Most of the book discusses how MRI works.

MRI (Matz's Ruby Interpreter) was invented in 1993 by Yukihiro Matsumoto a.k.a Matz.

Problem: What does a Modern Front-End Development Workflow Look Like?

I want to start writing libraries and large applications using the JavaScript language. However, I don't know how to setup the project and which build tools to use. What I do know is that the JavaScript community has moved way beyond using browser developer tool plugins and strategically-placed console.log() statements to debug, test, and build code.

I need help.

Below, I will keep track of articles, tutorials and tools I come across as I search for a way to bring my front-end development chops up-to-date.
