Ruby 3: The Big Picture
This course is a quick introduction to Ruby, one of the most useful and fun programming languages around.
What you'll learn
There are plenty of programming languages around–but for many programmers, Ruby is special. Ruby originally came from Japan to take over the world of web applications, thanks to the popular Ruby on Rails framework. But Ruby isn’t just for the web: it’s a great all-purpose language, perfect to write scripts or process data. This short training, Ruby 3: The Big Picture, shows you what Ruby looks like, and what makes it unique. We’ll take a 10 miles high overview of the language, examining its strong and weak points. By looking at plenty of Ruby snippets, you’ll see why so many developers are in love with this weird and friendly language. After watching this course, you’ll know enough Ruby to answer one all-important question: is this language for me, and why should I learn it?
