Ruby Koans
Just finished Ruby Koans. I feel like it was a little bit advanced for me as a complete noob, but I still learned plenty about basic syntax and things like that. Unfortunately, I ended up looking for help on most of the difficult challenges, but I still think even that helped me pick up a bit about the functionality of Ruby. It didn't take too long to breeze through it, so I highly suggest Ruby Koans to someone that already knows other programming languages and is interested in picking up Ruby. I would also slightly suggest it to a programming newb as a kind of head-first introduction to get your feet wet. [Does that last statement even make any sense? head=> feet?] The structure of Koans is pretty interesting in that you can try to read through all of the code and solve the Koans through your own reasoning and logic, or you can paste all of the code into an irb and it will spit the answer back at you, so that is the reason why both newbs and advanced programmers can learn from it.
I think my next study material should be more text-based, so that I can wrap my head around all of the stuff I was exposed to in Koans.
