Chapter 7: Designing Your Library
Designing a useful library is hard work, requiring consideration of many important decisions. In this chapter, you'll learn how to design useful libraries by focusing on the user experience, deciding how large the library should be, and deciding whether to have fewer, more complex methods or simpler, more numerous methods.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Focusing on the user experience
- Determining the appropriate size for your library
- Handling complexity trade-offs during method design
By the end of this chapter, you'll have a better understanding of the principles of a good Ruby library design.
