I’ve decided to write a mini-series documenting the learning curve of Rails.
Being based on Ruby, I decided that learning Ruby itself would be a good place to start. I wnet back to something I had a play with several months ago: TryRuby. As the name says, it let’s you try Ruby! It’s nice to see how classes, methods and the like work. In some ways it’s very similar to Java, except with a less complicated command structure. TryRuby is definitely a good place to start, especially if you want to know what the colon ( : ) in front of a word means!
