Tonight after having finished Pine's Learn to Program, I begin a new course -
Learning Ruby the Hard Way by Zed Shaw. At first glance, Shaw's work seems pretty focused on repetition, typing, learning, and practicing. I like this. I am looking forward to working through slowly and repetitively and hoping that more of it sticks. I have been through the basic of Ruby on both CodeAcademy and in Learn to Program. I have some of it down, but I feel I need more of the basics hammered down more tightly like iterating through an array and a list. I need more hands on coding practice so I am feeling good about this. I have not purchased the physical copy of the book, but may if I find it to be irritating to switch back and forth between the book and the editor on my pc.
