Ask HN: You have 1 week to get as good as possible at Ruby. What do you do?
Hey guys, coming from a JavaScript/nodejs background. Haven't touched something OOPy in years. I was wondering if any of you veterans could recommend solid resources that have helped you. I'm trying to get up to speed within a week enough to be able to do some basic features.
Thanks!
- Minor49er 5y agoCreate a site in Rails that can perform some basic functionality, or a simple API in Grape if you want something lower level. Personally, I would make use of something simple and interesting like the Discogs API for my project to interact with and create something like a music genre browser or application to connect artists who have worked together: https://www.discogs.com/developers/ https://www.discogs.com/developers/
- MarcelOlsz 5y agoPerfect! That'll do. Thanks.
- Minor49er 5y agoNow you'll have to create a Show HN when you're finished! :D
- MarcelOlsz 5y agoThat's assuming it ever leaves my github aka my code graveyard (where sideprojects go to die).
- TiredGuy 5y agoI really enjoyed Ruby Koans. I feel like it gave me a solid feel for the language in a fairly short amount of time. http://rubykoans.com/ http://rubykoans.com/
- tra3 5y agoThat's really neat. I like how it goes bottom up. I usually jump into dev with a new language and have to look up every function. This way you build up your knowledge of the language API from the ground up. neat.
