Ruby Scripts & IRB Discussion
Good job Collin!
Quick notes:
- Ruby has to already be installed to do everything in the video so maybe a link to the Install Ruby and Rails Guide if folks need help with that (https://gorails.com/setup/)
- Command to clear terminal screen is useful (command + k for Mac, cls for Windows, CTRL + L for Linux, etc..)
Thank you! : )
Eric! Good to see you here bud! Yeah, I purposefully didn’t cover the install step here in the hopes that we can unify on a solution for installation that we can easily keep up to date internally. The link you shared is solid for now so thank you for linking to it!
Hey Collin! Just seeing this 4 months late! lol! Super excited to be going through the GoRails Boot camp. I had only done the first two videos in this series way back when so I will start again and keep pace with the group! : )
I just wish Ruby installation was like Python's. It took me more than 2 hours to successfully install Ruby on Rails and run a "Hello World". Senior Computer Science student here working on a todo-list-app as an assignment.
Awesome! Cool to watch again! Thank you Collin!
Good Reminder: "Hitting 'tab' a few times to move through the list of available methods that show up after typing the '.' is sweet! : )
Definitely! Idk if I mentioned it in the video or not but you can go up the list with shift tab. 😎
Nice! Extra pro tip! 😎
If anyone is having issues with the text open the video up in YouTube and use the theatre mode or pop-up to scale the video correctly the text looks better.
Great video btw just the right level of detail.
Thanks Tahir! Again my apologies for the export on this video. I will make sure this doesn't happen going forward.
Starting my Ruby journey. Can't wait to learn more and have fun. I think this is such a great skill to have.
I wanted to learn how to code (just a beginner) and headed straight for agile web development on rails. With my fundamentals severely lacking, I found my way here. Thank you for the absolute beginner friendly content! It honestly is giving me hope that I can learn rails :)
So glad to hear that! Folks like yourself are the exact people we made this course for so I'm very glad that you found it. You can definitely learn Rails and we are all here to help you to learn and support you along the way. Do not hesitate to reach out for additional help anytime! Welcome to Ruby, Rails, and GoRails!!
