Introducing our Ruby project

We have a few goals in zombiecalypses and mine little Ruby project, which we like to introduce before we begin.

First of all we like to make a summary of each chapter of the Programming Ruby 1.9 book. Because this is not our first language to learn, we have a few important points to pay attention while reading:

• Important differences to other languages
• Syntax
• Specialities and Idioms
• Why should you therefore use Ruby

The second part will contain a few (at maximum 3) code snippets of this chapter which we are going to explain in detail and which we think are essential or extreme Ruby-like.

Finally, the last part will be a little discussion between zombiecalypse and me. We like to talk about coding stragegy, opinions, conventions and pros&cons.

Since it’s not only reading the chapter but reading, take notes and write blog article you shouldn’t expect an article every two weeks, I would rather say we try to upload an article every month! The exact date will be released with your first article about chapter one and two “Getting Started & Ruby.new”

And at the very end of our project there will be one last article about a little Ruby-exam found in the web. We will try to solve the exam with the help of what we learned by reading the book.

For a more personal goal, we are also trying to create annotations especially a @Test for Ruby. With these two goals we will end our Ruby project.

So stay tuned.

cheers zombiecalypse and d3orn
