In a project at work I’ve been working a lot with Ruby (straight Ruby, not Rails). I kind of like it. I’m not sure why exactly, but it feels… friendly.
While I have learned a bit about Ruby, I am not by any stretch of the imagination a Ruby expert. I’ve been (still am) muddling my way through, trying to learn by doing – and by reading. There’s plenty of great reading available for free online for anyone looking to learn Ruby programming, and I’d like to share links to some of the resources that I have found.
