- [Kevin] You can use Ruby to write interactive programs or to create scripts that perform common tasks. Ruby's also the programming language used by the popular Ruby on Rails web framework. It's a great place to begin your path to becoming a programmer or a web developer. Even experienced programmers will find Ruby's power and usability appealing. In this course, you'll learn the basics of programming with Ruby, the popular, easy-to-use programming language. You'll learn Ruby step by step, using code examples. We'll begin by exploring basic object types, and progress to writing custom methods with loops and conditional logic.
I'm Kevin Skoglund, and I've been programming in Ruby for over 13 years, and I still love it just as much as when I started. Let's learn the essentials of programming in Ruby.
