Ruby for Noobs

Session Details

Are you a developer who is curious about all the hype around Ruby? Not sure where to start? What do you need to install? How do I learn? Then this session is for you. We will start out with a brief show and tell, where I explain what you need to install. What is a Gem and how do you get them. What is Rake and how do you use it. Then we will quickly pivot to programming in Ruby. By the end of the session everyone in the room will have written their first lines of Ruby code. So come prepared to participate in an interactive introduction to a very powerful and popular language.
