3 points by AlexeyBrin on Jan 27, 2014 | hide | past | favorite | 4 comments
Hello,

what is the best way (I'm thinking specifically at books and tutorials) to get up to speed with Ruby for an experienced Java and C programmer ?

Thanks.




Use the search at the bottom of this page. This question gets asked weekly->monthly, depending.

Rails for Zombies, etc etc


Make a Rails app, then look at how every feature you use is implemented. Just reading through the ActiveRecord source will get you some mileage.


I learned Ruby coming from a similar project with ruby koans:
