By the end of this course, participants should be comfortable programming at a basic level using Ruby. We will learn together using Learn to Program by Chris Pine as a resource. The pace will be determined by course participants.
Thats an excellenct question.
I choose to learn and teach others ruby because:
1) It is an easy language to start learning about programming.
2) It "forces" the user to start using command line tools and gets you comfortable with those.
3) Ruby is becoming a viable langauge in the professional web app/site development world.
Maybe you can help me sort out this problem. I can't get access to the coursework files. I have gotten Git and Github set up and working, and I have forked and gotten a coursework repro with a read me file. But I can't find the coursework files for the class. Some of the links in the video for setting up Git and Github do not work on my Windows system, particularly when I try to use the described link for fetching the coursework files. I get a read me file, but nothing else. Any thoughts or suggestions?
