A while ago i started working with the Ruby Koans project for understanding and practicing with the Ruby programming language. The project consist of a set of unit failing tests that you fix in search for enlightenment, this sounds like Zen i know, but try it you will learn a lot with it.
By now i already worked in some of the tests suits for the project. Increasing myself-love and confident. I’m still a novice working with Ruby for sure, but i will keep the step by step path to get better at programming with it and programming in general. The trick is to practice and learn something each day.
If you are interested in learning some Ruby this project is a must do. Other thing that i suggest to everyone learning Ruby is to read code, that’s probably sounds a little bit obvious, but is really rewarding when you notice that you can understand must Ruby-Fu outside.
Now point your address bar to the Koans and get going with that. You won’t regret it.
