Hands-On Ruby Programming

---

Get real-world programming experience with Ruby that will increase your productivity and get your database driven web applications up and running quickly


Ruby is the hottest object-oriented, open-source interpreted language in IT. Ruby features include a simple syntax, single inheritance, closure, threading, networking, and exception handling. All of these features allow Ruby users to improve productivity, increase ease of use, and keep maintainability and portability. This 2-day hands-on course will provide programmers with an aggressive real world approach, and insight into the Ruby language. Learn how to leverage all the advantages Ruby provides over Java, C#, C++, and Perl.

Attendees should have one of the following: experience with another object-oriented language (e.g. C++, Java, C#), experience with a non-object oriented language (e.g. Fortran, Pascal, C or Basic) and has attended an object oriented course, or experience with a scripting language (Python or Perl).
