The Road to Learning Ruby on Rails: Part 1 (Ruby)

#ruby #rails #codenewbie #beginners

I'm back with another article this time on learning Ruby and RoR (Really?!?! Anthony isn't Ruby like a dead language?).

Well not quite. Ruby is still around today in some companies but the reason why I decided to learn it is because I do think this is one of the best first languages to learn as a beginner. For those who are on the self taught route into Software Engineering I highly recommend learning Ruby first. For me I have worked in JavaScript and Python and I really enjoy working with those languages as well.

Ruby is literally like pure english which I really like so far. It's an extremely accessible, dynamically typed, and expressive language. I'm currently using Code academy to learn Ruby but I have found an awesome resource on Freecodecamp on learning Ruby.

I hope this helps newbies get started on learning to programming. Follow me on my journey to getting proficient in Ruby on Rails.
