Programming with Ruby
This 3-day hands-on workshop will provide the attendee with the knowledge and
skills to begin using Ruby for everyday programming tasks using the growing
number of install-provided classes, modules, and methods. While Ruby is mostly
used by its converts to create web sites and web services, Ruby can be used as
an all purpose programming language for anything that C++, C##, Java, Perl, and
Python can do, with the possible exception of creating operating system
primitives. This workshop will concentrate on the use of Ruby in creating,
deploying and maintaining web sites and services as the vehicle in learning the
necessary Ruby skills. Attendees will be able to take the knowledge and
capabilities learned during this workshop and exploit them to use Ruby in just
about any programming environment.
This workshop provides the attendees with everything they will need to begin
using and benefitting from the Ruby language. In class examples, exercises and
projects will further the attendees understanding of the Ruby environment which
is fully "open-sourced" so the components of Ruby are freely available
to anyone with an Internet connection. Participants will complete an in-class
project that will expand their Ruby programming knowledge and skills
development.
Who Should Attend
Web developers, programmers, and other web personnel, current users of C++,
Java, C##, and those with web-related scripting languages will all benefit.
Prerequisites
Familiarity and experience with web scripting such as Perl, Python,
JavaScript, or VBScript, or experience with web site development using HTML,
XML, or VRML, or light coding experience in some current programming language:
VB, Java, C, C++, or C##.
