Learning Ruby: recommended blogs to read? [closed]

Tags:

ruby

blogs

I'm about to start learning Ruby and would like a bit of reading material to help me into it.

I'm looking for your top 5 blogs, news and any (active) bulletin boards (I can handle newsgroups fine, but I prefer reading in a BB) on Ruby.

Thanks,

How quickly can I learn Ruby?

You can expect to read and write in Ruby within a week of dedicated practice. On the flip side, if you plan to make Ruby the first programming language you learn, it can take an average of 1 month to know and understand its core concepts.

Is Ruby difficult to learn?

Is it easy to learn Ruby? Absolutely! But being easier to learn than other programming languages isn't the only reason why Ruby is so great.

Is it necessary to learn Ruby?

You need to know Ruby. It doesn't matter whether you learn Ruby before Rails, but in order to make rich and interesting applications, you will need build the buisiness logic somehow. Rails is just a framework, a very good one, to help you handle HTTP requests coming in and build responses to go out.

Should I learn Ruby before Rails?

Rails might be your first framework, and Ruby your first language. If you're new to programming in general, you'll want to start with Learn to Program. It'll teach you to write your own programs in Ruby, even if you've never written code before.

Reading blogs isn't the way to learn a programming language. It might be useful after you learn the fundamentals of the language at which point you can:

  1. Actually understand and make use of what you read on the blogs
  2. Have the foundation necessary to weed out the good stuff from the bad stuff

I would recommend a good book to get you started, the recently released The Ruby Programming Language is probably the best one out now.
