You don’t have to be an expert to learn Ruby
It started a couple of weeks ago with a few tweets about “where can we get a room in a pub (for free)?” and it quickly evolved into a social mix of Ruby experts and complete novices who were keen to learn. We had our first meet up on Wednesday 31 March 2010 and hope to meet again before too long.
James and Joanna (both journos) are largely to blame and we can thank them for creating a buzz that brought Dave the ruby wizard onto the scene.
What did we learn? The utter basics! You could usefully do with this stuff on your Mac:
And armed with that we had a look at the meaning of “object” and “class”.

To be honest, I haven’t got far with this at all. Today I’m looking at SDK again, but I’m looking forward to the next episode of #rubyinthepub. Keep an eye on twitter and look for that hashtag or the shorter version #ritp to see when we meet next.
