This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.
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. Participants will complete weekly exercises and be expected to interact with one another via email, google groups, IRC, and/or other asynchronous methods.
