Try Ruby & Rails for Zombies

by Sue

Two fun toys to play with for anyone interested in learning Ruby  or learning rails.

TryRuby: An in browser tutorial.  A bit laggy but neat.

Rails for Zombies:  5 online videos and in browser assignments.

I think what I like about ruby the most is that it’s written like you are speaking it.  I like that ! means you are doing something, or rather manipulating something.  I haven’t built anything cool in ruby beyond tutorials, but I did read _why’s book and listened to the soundtrack.  This semester I played to take a class in Ruby on Rails, but the professor moved so it wasn’t offered.  Huge bummer as I absolutely loathe Java, the class I am taking.

Some day I shall conquer you ruby! SOMEDAY!!
