_Learn to Program_ by Chris Pine is exactly that! Highly recommend. Liz Prescott Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 22, 2019, at 6:06 PM, Ken D'Ambrosio <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hey, all. I'll admit it: Ruby's my favorite language, at least in part because concepts that had been difficult or overly abstract in other languages were straightforward concepts in Ruby. And now, well, I'd like to share the fun. But I had ~25-odd years of hacking and slashing in various languages before I went down Ruby Road; what I'm looking for is an introduction-to-programming type of thing (book, website, whatever) that happens to use Ruby, *not* simply a book aimed at a programmer who's looking to learn Ruby. Basically, one that starts with simple challenges (increment a variable; figure out what use modulo is, or #to_int, etc., etc.) with Ruby as the fabric that ties these together. > > Does such a beastie exist? > > Thanks! > > -Ken > > Unsubscribe: <mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe> > <http://lists.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/ruby-talk> Unsubscribe: <mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe> <http://lists.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/ruby-talk>
