This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.

Explore Ruby, a high-level programming language optimized for productivity and happiness!

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.

For those on a *nix based system (MAC and Ubuntu) you can use Ruby Version Manager to encapsulate your ruby gems. I highly recommend this if you want to program Ruby professionally.
