Hi there,
one of my Ruby coaches Sven wrote this tutorial based on his experience coaching 4+ newbie project groups : http://ruby-for-beginners.rubymonstas.org/
And he got me this far…so that’s saying something. Not sure what; draw your own conclusions.
If you’re a Ruby coach, Sven accepts pull requests on his tutorial.
