What is the Ruby programming language?

Ruby is an open source, interpreted, object-oriented programming language created by Yukihiro Matsumoto, who chose the gemstone's name to suggest "a jewel of a language." Ruby is designed to be simple, complete, extensible, and portable. Developed mostly on Linux, Ruby works across most platforms, such as most UNIX-based platforms, DOS, Windows, MacIntosh, BeOS and OS/2, for example. According to proponents, Ruby's simple syntax (partially inspired by Ada and Eiffel), makes it readable by anyone who is familiar with any modern programming language.

Ruby is considered similar to Smalltalk and Perl. The authors of the book Programming Ruby: The Pragmatic Programmer's Guide, David Thomas and Andrew Hunt say that it is fully object-oriented, like Smalltalk, although more conventional to use -- and as convenient as Perl, but fully object-oriented, which leads to better structured and easier-to-maintain programs. To be compliant with the principles of extreme programming(XP), Ruby allows portions of projects to be written in other languages if they are better suited.

What is flutter ?

Flutter is Google’s portable UI toolkit for building beautiful, natively-compiled applications for  mobile ,  web,  and  desktop  from a single codebase. What is Flutter?

What Is Satellite? How Does It Work?

  How Does It Work? Table of Contents What is a Satellite? Anatomy of a satellite How does a satellite communicate? Bandwidth and Transmission Suggested Reading Satellites communicate by exchanging electromagnetic waves, either on the Earth’s surface or in space, hovering above a pole or orbiting us everyday. Communication doesn’t necessarily have to occur in the Radio spectrum. Your TV remote communicates with its set top box with infrared waves, while phones communicate with microwaves. Google Earth provides you the opportunity to visit any place on Earth, yet what do most people do? Look at their own house. In fact, Google Earth doesn’t just show you high-resolution pictures; like Scrooge on one of his ghosts, you are practically tossed there, as you can witness walking pedestrians and live traffic! But how does Google Earth achieve this feat? With satellites! What is a Satellite? The word satellite doesn’t necessarily describe a mechanical box floating through space with...
