Exercism - Scala Exercises VS ruby

When I got my first job as a junior software engineer, my team lead suggested I take a course by MIT, Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python to improve my fundamental knowledge of computer science. The course duration was 9 weeks and I learned a lot of theory about programming and picked up Python syntax. I liked the course and especially the exercises that were presented there. At that time I also discovered an amazing website called Exercism. I thought since I became familiar with the Python syntax and knew how to build simple apps, maybe it would be nice to explore some AI-related stuff. But after playing around with it I realized AI is really not for me. I'm not into analyzing data and everything that goes with it. I was more of an engineering and problem-solving type of developer.

Nice, this reminds me of Exercism, which I wish was more widely known since they seem to be good folks. (disclaimer, I donate to them)

Exercism, the free programming learning platform has initiated a challenge named: 48in24.

Last year, Exercism put together the #12in23 challenge. The goal was to learn a new programming language each month throughout the year. I was one of 135 people who completed the challenge, and I learned a lot along the way!

The list of languages contains every language on Exercism, excluding ones that I've used before, web languages, or ones that I can't download for some reason.

Learning by doing, with the help of mentors. Excellent way to learn a next language (as you are already familiar with the programming concepts).

Exercism is pretty good for beginners with some programming language, they are open source and worth contributing to.

Exercism

I use https://exercism.org/ for learning elixir and it is a great tool to start IMO. It has a track for Ruby here: https://exercism.org/tracks/ruby

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.

Exercism for Ruby practice.

If you want to improve your grasp of Ruby, try The Well-Grounded Rubyist and (as someone else mentioned) Exercism.

When I was first learning Ruby, I also loved Exercism for practice.

Exercism for Ruby practice.

Ruby: - The Well-Grounded Rubyist. It covers some advanced Ruby, so it's worthwhile even if you already know some Ruby. - Exercism for Ruby practice.

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.

Also, the Ruby track on Exercism is great for practice.
