RubyMonk - ruby lessons right in your browser

You should add the link to the Next Lesson at the bottom of the page (or have use a fixed layout as you scroll down). I got to the end of Chapter 0 and was ready to move on, but I couldn't find the Go To Next Chapter button without looking around.

I love easy-to-engage sites like this. I have long-time java dev team members that I've been encouraging to learn ruby. This makes it easy to invite them in and give them a taste. Array manipulation alone should be enough to pique interest.

It looks like codecademy.com really dropped the ball with their product. It's been a while since they released their MVP(emphasis on the 'M') and now they're being cloned left and right...while they still have yet to add a single lesson to their 30 minute introduction to javascript.<p>Congrats on rubymonk. I'll run through it in a bit.

I liked this, but found it hard to retain my interest after the first lessons until I found the 'problems' section. I tend to learn way better when actively working on a problem and having to go look things up and learn them to advance, so I look forward to seeing more problems here.

I took all lessons yesterday, and completed the problem. I found some UI glitches (% of classes completed), and I think that the UX can be improved by highlighting at any point which lessons/exercises are not done yet - rather than simply highlighting how many are left.<p>The problems are valuable, and I enjoyed solving them. I think that you might want to show multiple alternatives for solving the same problem - that's one of the cool things about Ruby.<p>I would love to find something similar to HTML/CSS. I know that codeschool have an HTML5 one, but unfortunately, I need something more basic :)

Very happy to see the C42 guys crystallizing their vision of building their own products with revenues generated from their own services.<p>Many many congratulations, Sidu and Team :)

The problem is that teaching yourself the basics of the language is trivial, whereas actually getting Ruby and gems working with textmate and then building real stuff on your own is quite difficult. I already know all the basics of Ruby, but I can't actually do anything with it, and so this doesn't really solve my problem.

Really nice. Can anyone comment on the architecture/stack used to create this, esp. with regard to the front end?

I like the peculiar starting level of instruction. Most tutorials like this start with the very basics of programming or skip to demos of hard stuff. This is like a level 2 tutorial for people who kind of know the very, very basics.<p>Looking forward to updates. I've completed everything thus far.

Really well made. Loved the attention to detail: after switching from cmd + enter to clicking "run" a few times, I was given the hint to use cmd + enter instead. Ticker on the top really added to keeping focused and goal oriented. Going to get back to finishing this.

Did I do something wrong? After I finished the introduction to arrays it brought me to making a calculator class (don't quite see how that's relevant to arrays) and I had no idea how to write the code because I hadn't even learned the basic syntax yet.

In the 90 minutes since we launched, 698 people have solved at least one exercise at <a href="http://RubyMonk.com" rel="nofollow">http://RubyMonk.com</a>, with a total of 8404 exercises being solved. Thank you for trying us out and giving us feedback!

This is awesome. I really love this.<p>Really lowers the barrier to entry for Ruby developers.

Very cool and great design, but I think I would recommend <a href="http://rubykoans.com/" rel="nofollow">http://rubykoans.com/</a> over it if you really want to jump into Ruby.

Loved it. I found most exercises and problems easy to do and most importantly it was fun. Looking forward to more lessons, exercise and problems.

Very slick navigation and a lot of fun! Would really love to see the focus on the Problems sections to keep things interesting.

The end of program problems don't allow you to view the solution even though there is a link on the page.

Great tool! Great for daily practice while learning Rails on another tutorial.

Outstanding UI design. This is enticing me to learn Ruby at last. Thanks!

I cannot seem to get further from the leasson 2 although my code passes

I'm really tired of seeing Ruby tutourials online. Teaching someone Ruby doesn't teach them the first thing about getting set up with a functioning website where they can put that code to practice.
