Learn Ruby the Hard Way

Install Ruby

Use RubyInstaller to install Ruby 2.0.0.

Make sure you select the following options during the install

  • Add Ruby executables to your PATH
  • Associate .rb and .rbw files with this Ruby installation

Screenshot if you're not sure (https://www.dropbox.com/s/kyfosejk2fr4gdw/rubyinstaller.png)

Download the Ruby Core & Standard Library Documentation for Ruby 2.0.0. These files will be useful if you want to look some function up.

Learn Ruby the Hard Way

We're going to use the site Learn Ruby the Hard Way to learn Ruby.

Skip the chapter Exercise 0: The Setup. You should already have Ruby installed.

Skip the "Extra Credit" exercises in each chapter.

Where it asks you to run ruby or irb, run them in git bash.

Note: If you aren't already using sublime text now would be a really good time to download and start using it.
