Love your story! I'm also learning Ruby as a Python developer and I find the exercises from this website quite helpful. And since I started Python with Django Girls, I tried Rails Girls to build a Rails app and I enjoyed their detailed hands-on explanation as well!

As soon as I'm done going through try.ruby-lang.org/ I will go through the site you're talking about. It looks super friendly. (and I'm seriously wondering where all of this is for Python, because I definitely didn't see anything that comprehensive and friendly) side eyes python

I used Django Girls too! I had no clue Rails Gitls existed. I'll keep that in mind if I need or decide I want to pick up Rails too.

What made you start working with Ruby?

Glad that you find the site friendly! To be honest, I looked at Ruby because several companies I'm applying to uses it. I still prefer Python for my own project though.
