Anyone help me make a decision, on my ruby journey?
Once you’re done with the odin project and want to continue learning ruby, I suggest checking out Exercism ruby track too. There is a learning track, exercises are increasing in difficulty, and you get free mentoring from Rubyists on there too.

What should I be learning?
For getting an overview of Ruby and Rails in two weeks, here's what I would recommend: - Watch the free Rails for Beginners videos by GoRails, and code along with them if you're so inclined. - Do some exercises on Exercism, and after each exercise be sure to look at the top solutions by other people. Use The Odin Project or your favorite Ruby tutorial as a reference for the language.
