Learning Ruby from Ben Barefield

Last night's study group was on Ruby, lead by Ben Barefield. Let me say that I didn't know a thing about Ruby going in, but from what I observed, even those who know and use Ruby, and had done the Koans before, seemed to be getting a lot out of it. Granted, there was a lot of complaining about the problems being "too hard" (that was me in the first 10 seconds). In reality, I went from not knowing Ruby to feeling comfortable enough to come home and keeping working on the Koans. And I actually know what a Koan is now! I'm now playing around with a few different Ruby IDEs. Thanks Ben.

Oh and we had a few new faces last night. Jay Harris (who frankly was dodging study group until cornered and forced to come), Carl Wright, and Becky Glesner.

If you didn't make it last night, then definitely you have to come next Tuesday from 5:30-6:30 to learn a whole lot about Ruby on Rails, lead by Marina Fedner.
