Rubyists:
What is the best place for a Ruby beginner like myself to get started?
I took a look here:
https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/
Anything else I should be looking at?
@datn @staticsafe lmao hopefully the guy teaches ruby better than python because he spends a long time complaining about py3 in LPTHW iirc, and just, not being great
@nire @staticsafe well, as in everything developers recommend, YMMV. :) i'm an opsy perl/shell guy myself who's about to teach himself node.js, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@datn @staticsafe yeah its just like, it certainly is the hard way if you go in with the 8 year old bias against spec :P
@staticsafe @datn im looking for my ruby books since i dont have a better one than Why's (poignant) Guide to Ruby, which im sure is outdated by now
@datn @staticsafe er, only one on the top of my head
@datn @staticsafe One way would be to pick up the basics with codeacademy and this book and then jump right into the rails book, it's pretty hands on if I remember correctly.
@staticsafe everything under "Getting Started" is pretty much spot on.
@staticsafe www.goodreads.com/book/show/520.Learn_to_Program 🙂
@staticsafe I highly recommend Practical Object-Oriented Design in Ruby (aka POODR) by Sandi Metz. And good call on reading the docs—they're awesome.
@staticsafe The Well Grounded Rubyist is another good one. Eloquent Ruby as well.
@staticsafe theres also http://tryruby.org/levels/1/challenges/0 which might be too basic for you but is nice from what i remember for people trying to learn a language even if it does cover the fundimentals. but yeah the poignant guide was where all the people i know learned, but its like, five years old by now
@staticsafe all my ruby pals tell me to go here: https://learnrubythehardway.org/book/
