About the course

**Ruby is a _brilliant_ language to use!** In this course, Darren Jones will introduce you to Ruby from the beginning, in a step-by-step fashion. There are many practical activities and games to build, illustrating the many programming concepts explained by Darren. By the end of the course you would've learnt _all_ the Ruby basics, including how to put your Ruby programs on the web using the Sinatra framework. _Ready to jump into some server-side programming?_ You won't _need_ to have any previous programming knowledge but hey, it helps. Continue your journey in Ruby with our course Ruby Metaprogramming Revealed. Go a step further and build automated Ruby tests with Feature Tests with RSpec.
