Hey Ark,

This sounds really cool! Is this peer-to-peer learning experience of Ruby still going on? If so, what kind of projects have y'all got planned to do together? I'm curious about the specifics of what you might have already done or are planning to do to learn and stay motivated together as group.

Hey, Michael,

That peer-to-peer learning took place 4 years ago, when I have started my rubyist career path. So currently this thing is on hold.

As I got some experience and have lessons learnt, I'd like to continue such kind of learning with some friendly community.

This was very simple stuff, we learned basics of Ruby and Rails, no specific project was given, because of my immaturity at that moment.

Motivation was very simple, in the group we decided that everybody should prepare her/his topic and explain to everybody. Thus, anyone can be a teacher and a student in the same group.

Nice! Teaching is definitely a great way to learn... forces you to research and organize your thoughts around a topic. If you've got to explain it to others, then of course you want to do your best to know it well. Anyway, cool post on peer-to-peer learning!
