Closure, from Why_ the Lucky Stiff
I'll take this opportunity to link to Why's Poignant Guide to Ruby - https://poignant.guide - one of the most unique and inspiring programming language tutorials you'll ever read.
- Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby
- What are some good free resources to learn Rails?

Where to begin learning Ruby
Why's Guide is also pretty fun, but it is definitely a bit non-traditional in terms of programming books: https://poignant.guide/

The best language tutorials that you have seen?
Tutorials? Probably hands down the best was Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby.

I’m trying coding
To whatever extent a programming manual can be RS-adjacent, this one is: https://poignant.guide/

“So, what’s next?” - do we really do better in the Ruby world?
WhyTheLuckyStiff wrote the infamous Why's Poignant Guide to Ruby. Just off the top of my head, Why put out a lot of open source projects. People where not kind to his code or him so he deleted all of his repos and moved off of Ruby.

Being laid off in 2023-2024 as an early-career developer
More consistent learning. The job search also gave me a chance to get back to my Ruby/web development learning roadmap. I realized that at my last job, I wasn't consistently spending time improving my skills, outside of whatever I might (if I was lucky) be learning in work projects. It's just hard to fight against the pressure of the day-to-day work. Here are some approaches that I'll try this time around: Disregard immediate applicability and learn something I'm interested in for the sake of expanding my mind. Right now that's learning functional programming. Learn actively, whether by contributing to Exercism's Ruby track, building a collection of Ruby code katas, or maybe even creating a text-based game.

Desperately need direction!
Beyond these basics, I've put together a list of my favorite Ruby/Rails learning resources.

Learning Git: my favorite resources
I made the Git list by (1) scouring the Web for recommended resources, then (2) trying out each one to see if it would be worth going through to the end. In case you're curious about which resources didn't make the cut, here's the commit where they are removed.

Learning Ruby: a retrospective
As a guide to my reflections today, I'll use my "Learning Ruby" roadmap, which originally arose out of the chaos of my bookmark hell, where I was having trouble keeping track of the actually important learning resources. The roadmap worked well for me and eventually I put it up on GitHub because making it public gives me more motivation to keep making progress.

Looking for Career Change
For me, Ruby was a great choice for a career change. I used to be a teacher until I quit in 2020, then over the next 1.5 years I studied and practiced part-time, while working full-time in a remote customer support job. Ever since I started learning Ruby, I've saved my favorite learning resources here: https://github.com/fpsvogel/learn-ruby. Many of them are free.

OOP vs. services for organizing business logic: is there a third way?
So I've set out to explore the problem of organizing business logic from more angles than before, using the resources listed below. These lists are excerpted from my "Learning Ruby" road map which I often update, so you may want to find these lists there if this post is old at the time of your reading it. The sections corresponding to the lists below are, at the time of writing, "Rails architecture" and "Rails codebases".

Learning Rails vs JS ecosystem?
I'll tell my story and you can decide if it resonates with you at all. Also these might help you: my Ruby roadmap (favorite learning resources), and my blog post "How to find your first Rails job".

what things do I have to learn to build a web app with Rails?
I've made a big list of my favorite learning resources, but here are some possible first steps:

Recently started first software engineering job, looking for course to improve Rails skills
I actually don't know of a good "beyond the basics" Rails course. The one or two that I've seen out there are prohibitively expensive. For me the best way forward has been to improve in specific areas, such as OOP, testing, and SQL basics. I've made a list of my favorite resources in each area, which might help you.
