Day 40: Intro to Ruby

Today begins the last stack we learn from Coding Dojo, Ruby on Rails.

Although there isn't formal class today, I decided to prime my brain for this new syntax that's completely different than PHP and Javascript. I really like how clean Ruby is. It's very similar looking to python. At times it's pretty refreshing to see code that doesn't have a bunch of curly braces making it look like machine language. Ruby reads a lot more like English and can be interpreted much easier (although that point can be debated).


This is a quick screenshot of tryruby.org where many beginner programmers start their journey to becoming Ruby on Rails developers. I really like how well this app was built to make it easy and fun to learn the Ruby syntax. Week 9 and 10 will be fully devoted to this topic!
