HACKER Q&A

You have 1 week to get as good as possible at Ruby. What do you do?


Hey guys, coming from a JavaScript/nodejs background. Haven't touched something OOPy in years. I was wondering if any of you veterans could recommend solid resources that have helped you. I'm trying to get up to speed within a week enough to be able to do some basic features.

Thanks!

Create a site in Rails that can perform some basic functionality, or a simple API in Grape if you want something lower level.

Personally, I would make use of something simple and interesting like the Discogs API for my project to interact with and create something like a music genre browser or application to connect artists who have worked together:

I really enjoyed Ruby Koans. I feel like it gave me a solid feel for the language in a fairly short amount of time.
