Starting to learn Ruby
These days I’ve been doing a little search of resources for learning Ruby. I’m really interested in this object-oriented programming language. I want to share some links with you:
- The first site I started to read was about object-oriented programming concepts at the Java tutorials site. It was useful for me since I didn’t have a clue about objects, classes, methods, inheritance, concepts you’ll be able to get in touch in that site. I also mixed the reading of those concepts with Wikipedia & Google searches.
- Then I recommend going to the Ruby official site and read some examples of the language. You’ll notice that it’s so powerful and practical. Things I did in the C programming language are so easy to do with Ruby, I really love that. From the same site you’ll be able to access to a web application called Try Ruby! which is an interactive console that will show you in some minutes how Ruby works. With all these links I could get a very basic background about Ruby.
- Now I’m in the process of reading a book called Learn to Program, which is focused to beginners in programming using Ruby. I started to read this book thanks to a Ruby course I joined today, so if you want to learn Ruby you can join too!
