Does Agile Web Development with Rails have a section on learning Ruby? I'm wondering if I can kill two birds with one stone with this behemoth of a book

- inklesspen 19y agoNot really, sorry. If you know Python or a similar language well, you can probably get by without a dedicated Ruby resource, because AWD does have lots of examples, and it has a 13-page ruby tutorial appendix. But I wouldn't recommend it.
- damir 19y agoMost of the things in Ruby are objects, so you can try using plain english (ie. my_array.length, my_array.each {|element| puts element, ...). If you get stuck, here's two links I use the most: http://www.rubycentral.com/ref/ http://www.rubycentral.com/ref/ http://api.rubyonrails.org/ http://api.rubyonrails.org/
- jamesbritt 19y agoThat reference link refers to Ruby 1.6. You'll find more current info at http://www.ruby-doc.org http://www.ruby-doc.org
