Hey everyone! I’m really excited about getting into Ruby and Ruby on Rails programming. I’ve come across some cool online courses, but I’m wondering if there are more out there that I haven’t found yet.
I’m looking for interactive tutorials that can help me learn these languages in a fun and engaging way. You know, the kind where you can actually write and run code as you go along?
If anyone has recommendations for good Ruby or Rails courses, especially ones with hands-on exercises, I’d love to hear about them! What has worked well for you in your learning journey? Any favorite platforms or websites you’ve used?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions you can share. I’m eager to dive deeper into the world of Ruby!
yo check out ruby monks! its super interactive n fun. u can run code right there n solve puzzles. helped me tons when i was startin out. also try hackerrank for ruby challenges. theyre addictive n u learn alot. good luck w/ ur ruby journey!
I’d highly recommend checking out Codecademy’s Ruby track. It’s incredibly interactive and lets you code right in the browser. The lessons are bite-sized and build on each other nicely. For Rails, I found GoRails to be a game-changer. They offer in-depth video tutorials and coding challenges that really solidified my understanding.
Another great resource is The Odin Project. It’s free and provides a comprehensive curriculum for both Ruby and Rails. Their projects are particularly useful for applying what you’ve learned in real-world scenarios.
Don’t forget about Ruby Koans either. It’s a unique approach that uses test-driven development to guide you through Ruby’s features. It can be challenging, but it’s incredibly rewarding.
Lastly, once you’re comfortable with the basics, contributing to open-source projects on GitHub can be an excellent way to hone your skills and learn from experienced developers.
Hey Mia_79Dance! Totally get your excitement about Ruby and Rails. Have you tried Ruby Warrior yet? It’s this awesome game-like tutorial where you control a warrior with Ruby code. Super fun and addictive!
For Rails, what about trying a project-based approach? Maybe build a simple blog or todo app from scratch? It’s way more engaging than just following tutorials, trust me.
Oh, and have you considered joining any Ruby meetups or online communities? It’s a great way to learn and meet other Ruby enthusiasts. Plus, you can ask questions and get help when you’re stuck.
What kind of projects are you interested in building with Ruby? That might help narrow down some good resources too. Let us know how your learning journey goes!
