If you hang out in any of the web development communities, there’s no way you don’t hear about the Ruby programming language. Why is that?

Operator precedence might be one of the most confusing parts of the Ruby language. Even the docs recommend you just use && and ||.

I first stumbled upon Ruby in 2007. All I wanted back then, was a language that I can build something cool with. I was going from knowing nothing to knowing something, so the information had to be as jargon-free as possible.

Ruby uses the case for writing switch statements. Learn how case works and how you can use it.

A Ruby object has its methods public by default, but its data is private. So if you need to access the data, for either reading or writing, you need to make it public somehow.

Learn about Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) with Ruby, and become a better Ruby developer.

Removing dependencies leads to code that is easier to extend. In this article you’re going to learn about removing argument order dependencies.

The way Ruby resolves class variables is not very intuitive and in my opinion, it’s one of the few areas where it breaks the principle of least surprise.
