Learn Ruby!

by James

Ruby is a beautiful language: easy to write, simple to read, and powerful as hell. It’s also pretty easy to pick up the basics of Ruby without too much trouble — but save yourself some time by checking out the following resources that have helped me loads.

  1. Ruby-Lang.org: Ruby’s website has some great tutorials for developers coming from other languages. They’ll help you to take your first steps as a Ruby programmer.
  2. Ruby-Doc.org: here you’ll learn what Ruby is capable of. RubyDoc has documentation for all of Ruby’s classes and modules: you’ll always learn something new.
  3. why’s poignant guide: a cartoon guide to Ruby. Funny and informative!
  4. Ruby Inside: this Ruby blog is a great way to discover new code created by the Ruby community.

And of course, if you’re bored, you can always browse Github!
