Ruby is a fully object oriented dynamic scripting language used to make anything from small server scripts to large web applications. It's a language with beautiful syntax and powerful metaprogramming abilities. Programming in Ruby is a lot of fun. Ruby for beginners is a course for anyone wanting to learn Ruby and for those already using Ruby that want a clear understanding of its inner depths. The course uses the well written and up to date book "The Well-Grounded Rubyist" by David Black as course material, covering two thirds of the book in two days. The course covers Ruby 1.9 with notes throughout the course about changes from Ruby 1.8.

Course attendees will get hands on experience buliding a sample web application while learning how Rails works on the inside. Due to the amount of coding done by the participants during the course, it's suitable to call this a workshop. It's a great way to learn Rails.
