In my previous post , I detailed the strategies I used to learn the basics of a programming language in a weekend. Now I'll share the specific details I used.
Books
I used two of the best books on Ruby:
Both of these books are paid, but there are many other great Ruby books available online for free.
Also, both of these books are approachable enough for beginners, but I would recommend that newbies start with the following two resources:
Online Courses
I used the following online courses:
- Code School (This one is paid, but it's great!)
- Code Academy (This one is free!)
- Ada Developers Academy Textbook (This one is good at distiling programming concepts)
Pomodoro
I used a cute owl kitchen timer to keep track of my pomodoros :)
I hope that helps anyone that wants to learn ruby!
