I like to see a good amount of competition in the field of learning code. Everyone seems to have a different approach to things and I think the more sites like this the better.
This one seems to cater to the reader-types (I'm one of those) so it's sitting nicely with me. Other people I know seem to prefer video + activity (like Code School, etc). Having these kinds of options is really nice.
One critique: the name is great but when I read the domain, I thought of Perl Monks, just ruby flavored. Not sure if that's good or bad -- just an honest response.
- kaiwren 14y agoThanks for the feedback (I work at C42 Engineering, the programmers collective behind RubyMonk). I'd never heard of Perl Monks before you mentioned it - it's something we'll keep in mind. I'm not sure how it will influence us, but it's good to know.
- Surio 14y agoLike I mentioned earlier: I actually first found Ruby Monk by searching for "Perl Monks for ruby", so in a way, the name works to their advantage.
