Programming in Swift/Ruby

by Rhidian
5 replies
Heya,

I'm currently trying to take up coding, with the endgoal of being able to develop an app on iPhone markets. I'm not the most logically-oriented thinker, I've always been more of a liberal arts kind of guy with a knack for business, so I've been using codeacademy.com to learn the basics of Ruby to grasp the concepts of coding (As I heard Ruby is one of the easiest and powerful languages to learn), and then move on to swift...

Would any programmers here know of better resources to use whilst learning Ruby, or could comment their thoughts on my current plan?

Thank you.

    Hi Rhidian,
    Check this extensive list of the resources from where you can learn Ruby on rails.
    Learn Ruby: 29 of The Best Online Educational Resources to Learn to Ruby and Ruby on Rails | SkilledUp

    Also it does not matter that which language you are learning. The thing matter is that with how much devotion you are learning this.

    Best of luck in your career.

      Thank you to both of you!

      I decided to go straight Ruby for the time being, I discovered something called "RubyMotion" that allows you to program in Ruby cross-platform for Android and iOS!
      Thanks again.

        Or you can use phonegap which allows you to use HTML/CSS and Javascript to build cross plateform apps. It's actually easier... I like ruby I use it a lot especially rails but I like javascript more.

    Programming is a "way of thinking" ... not just learning a language. The language is just what you use to instruct a device to actually do what you think it should do, in the way you've "thought out" (and written) it to be done.

    Pick a language, learn it, and then try and apply what you've learned to another language.

    First of all I don't think ruby is the easiest Language to learn. HTML is much easier Anyway the offical ruby site has a lot of free resources you can use. such as this one

    Try Ruby: learn the basics of the Ruby language in your browser.
