Awesome Ruby Tutorial

Filed under: Web Development — Adeh at 3:04 pm on Monday, February 27, 2006

I have been really interested in the Ruby Language and the much hyped Ruby on Rails web development platform. I had already played a bit with Rails, but this weekend, I decided to go back and do some research in Ruby itself. I found this wonderful book/tutorial that I just had to share:

http://tryruby.hobix.com/

http://poignantguide.net/ruby/

They are both written by the same guy. Its amusing, strange, and very informative. It is aimed at someone who is just starting programming, so it moves a little slow. But what it did was it gave me a very good feel for the Ruby language. Not just the syntax, but also the style.

Sweet, you use ruby adeh? I have been using RoR for the past few months and I love it! I keep bugging andrew to switch over from php. (Admittedly i have very limited experience with php- just enough to know that it’s a huge pita)

Hey Adeh! So is developing with Ruby on Rails superior to PHP? Gerald wants to marry it.
