----------------------------------- TokenHerbz Sat Mar 25, 2006 12:39 am Ideas to strengthen ruby skills ----------------------------------- If anyone has ideas for programs to make, so that i can strengthen my skills in ruby, drive the code in my head :), it'll be awsome... i keep wanting to write Turing style :S... Also: for others who want a good tutorial: I found this one really good... http://pine.fm/LearnToProgram/?Chapter=01 ----------------- So yeah, i'll wait for the ideas to role in, and remember, im still newbie! ----------------------------------- Tony Sat Mar 25, 2006 1:55 am ----------------------------------- how much of a newbie are we talking about here? :lol: ----------------------------------- Cervantes Sat Mar 25, 2006 9:11 am ----------------------------------- The program suggestions at the end of chapters in that pine tutorial are probably as good as any. Maybe you'd also want to try out CCC (or other contests) type problems, though don't do ones that are too hard, because the goal here is to learn Ruby. Though as you get more comfortable in Ruby, you can do the harder problems! :) ----------------------------------- TokenHerbz Sat Mar 25, 2006 1:15 pm ----------------------------------- i need all the experiments on that tut, and i have the only knoedge to which the tut teaches... ----------------------------------- TokenHerbz Sat Mar 25, 2006 1:23 pm ----------------------------------- Edit: I know everything in the tut exept for the class's... That confused me so i think i need someone to "explain" it better then the tut did... ----------------------------------- person Sat Mar 25, 2006 5:49 pm ----------------------------------- Can you ask a more specific question? It seems sorta close to java classes. ----------------------------------- Cervantes Sat Mar 25, 2006 6:36 pm ----------------------------------- There are plenty of resources. [url=http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=5624]wtd's tutorial is one. You could also try reading the appropriate chapter in [url=http://www.rubycentral.com/book/]The pragmatic programmer's guide to Ruby or in [url=http://poignantguide.net/ruby/]the poignant guide. ----------------------------------- wtd Sat Mar 25, 2006 7:01 pm ----------------------------------- It seems sorta close to java classes. Superficially, perhaps. ;)
