Ask HN: Where is the best place to learn Ruby?

9 pointsby GoofyGewberalmost 13 years ago
I've been trying to lean Ruby, and I can't find any good tutorials. Anyone have any (Free?) tutorials they recommend?

Did you mean Ruby itself? or RoR? For the latter, the Michael Hartl Ruby on Rails Tutorial is pretty good: <a href="http://ruby.railstutorial.org/chapters/beginning" rel="nofollow">http://ruby.railstutorial.org/chapters/beginning</a>

Stackoverflow is a great resource. The link below is has details on Rails (maybe not best starting point for Ruby) but helpful site to learn and find good resources.<p><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/55574/learning-ruby-on-rails" rel="nofollow">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/55574/learning-ruby-on-ra...</a>

Highly recommend this free 5 week Coursera course out of UC Berkeley. All development is in Ruby and Rails. There is some introductory Ruby material - you don't need to have any prior knowledge. It started last week, but you can join late without a problem.<p><a href="https://www.coursera.org/course/saas" rel="nofollow">https://www.coursera.org/course/saas</a><p>Oh yeah the optional textbook that goes with it is available on kindle for $10.
