Your First Ruby Gem Discussion

Thanks Collin

I've authored a few gems already, but this was a really useful look at the "bare-bones" approach rather than use the "bundle gem your-name-here # and fill in the blanks" approach.

Always good to get back to the core concepts - appreciated!

Thanks Collin! That was awesome! Yes please! on continuing the project! 🥳

Thanks, Emily! Yeah that's one that will definitely give you a pain point later if you don't find out first.

This tutorial is a fantastic introduction to building Ruby gems! It demystifies the process by walking through the creation of a simple gem that extends the Ruby Array class, making the concept approachable for beginners. The clear explanations and step-by-step guidance are especially helpful for those new to gem development.

@repo This was a great helpful look at the "bare-bones" method instead of using the "bundle gem your-name-here # and fill in the blanks" technique, even though I've previously written a few gems.

@ Totally agree. I didn’t realize how important it is to check gem names early on. This was a great reminder, thanks for pointing that out in the video

Thanks so much for the kind words everyone! I'm really glad to hear that you all are enjoying this lesson. It was super fun to make!
