Some resources that are really well reviewed 

This is the series that I went through when I was doing my degree, helped me grasp so many concepts that I wasn't understanding. I also LOVE the lecturer, mehran sahami, in the videos. This is the CS 106A course - which is probably the best intro for CS imo. You'll have to skip to 41 minutes of first video as its just him talking about the course for his new students etc

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

Hiding your credentials from GitHub

In many cases, we need to use secret information in our Ruby; most commonly, API keys and email account passwords.

You should never paste these strings directly into your Ruby code. There are bots that can and will steal your API keys the instant you push your code to a public GitHub repository. Even if you pay for private repositories, it's a good idea to not store secrets in your repo -- you may not want all of your collaborators (interns?) to know, for example, the API keys to your payment processor.

(If you have already pushed an API key to a public repository, you should sign into your API dashboard now and invalidate that old key, and get a new one. Assume that the old one has already been stolen. Reverting your commit will do no good.)

But if our Ruby needs to use these secrets, but we can't keep them in our code, what's the solution? Environment variables. We're going to use a gem called Figaro to make this easy.
