Metaprogramming with Ruby: Writing Code that Writes Code

In this session, the overall motivation for metaprogramming - i.e, programming to create programs - will be explained, and Ruby’s support for metaprogramming, based on its meta-object support, will be explained in detail. A number of examples from different real-world usage scenarios will be used to show why metaprogramming is the key feature that sets dynamic languages apart.
