Episode 4: Ruby

Guest: Glenn Vanderburg Host: Daniel Steinberg The Ruby programming language has taken the software world by storm, as scripting language, as development language, and as the host of the influential Rails web development framework. Programmers who come to Ruby are surprised by their productivity and freedom -- and by how much fun they have! Becoming an accomplished user of Ruby takes a little practice. One way to jump-start the learning process is to study with a master. To this end, ooPSLA is offering a tutorial called "An Introduction to Ruby" by accomplished Rubyist and teacher Glenn Vanderburg. In this podcast, Glenn joins Daniel Steinberg of DimSumThinking to talk about Ruby, some of the advantages of making Ruby your "go to" language, and some of the ways that Ruby will expand how you think about programming and programming languages.
