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!!
