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 or bought in paper and other formats from O'Reilly Media.
- Stopped LaTeX version at Files chapter (Preface and chapter 4 still not converted, plus there are pending todos) - the 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
