Course Description
Find out why students are saying this is the best Ruby course they've ever taken!
* Latest Update: January, 16th 2016
Many people who try to switch to coding as a career don't make it. And you want to know the number 1 reason employers tell me? Its because they don't understand the basics.
You can become a coder. While it may seem like a totally foreign language, once you understand some of the underlying principles its actually quite easy - and fun!
Ruby is a fantastically powerful language used by startups and top companies like Airbnb and Twitter. And Unlike languages like Java, C# or Swift, it is relatively easy to learn. But let me tell you: as someone who has worked for years as a professional programmer and hired dozens of coders myself, understanding the basics is critical.
My Newbie to Ruby course if the first part of a series on becoming a professional programmer. It lays the foundations for web development using Ruby on Rails and will set you on a life changing career path. If you try to do Rails without knowing Ruby you will most likely fail.
Understanding Through Exercises & Drills
The course follows a simple pattern. I introduce a concept, give you an exercise and then go through the exercise in detail so that you can solidify your understanding. I also have dozens of additional drills with solutions to help you hone your skills.
Complete in 2 weeks
The course is broken up into 12 sections and you should be able to get through 1 section per evening if you're doing this part time. So all up you'll need about 2 weeks.
The Course will Cover
- Methods
- Predicates and Conditionals
- Looping
- Input and Output
- Objects and Classes
- Arrays, Hashes and other Data Structures
- Math and much more
Get your coding career off to a flying start with my Newbie to Ruby course.
There has never been a better time to switch your career!Who this course is for:
- Beginner Programmers
- Programmers who want to learn Ruby

Dan Draper
In my career I've been on several tech startup journeys. I've enjoyed the highs and endured the epic lows of being an entrepreneur. And having learned to code from an early age I now have over 20 years of coding experience.
The world needs more coders and the way in which many companies work with coders needs to change. I'm dedicating my career to these pursuits though my company Codehire and its sister site CODR TV.
Codehire's mantra is Inspire, Teach, Hire and focusses on bridging the gap between learning and early stage coders and those who have chosen to code as a career.

I have studied java for a year in college and he's nearly through half of what I learned in Ruby in a little under an hour. Really good course taught at a great pace.
Like what Dan says in his very first video, understanding basics is the most important thing when it comes to programming. I have to admit there are many great ruby for beginners courses here in Udemy. But what makes Dan's course different is that you will be able to understand advanced ruby programming based on this course. I have tried many courses out there that say they are for complete beginners. However, when you pay them, that's the moment you realize you made a mistake because it's way to hard to understand. This course is easy to follow and covers both theoretical and practical side of basic ruby in favour of complete beginners. This well made courses worth more than just some money for a person like me who really wants to find easy courses to follow for next level. Hope Dan makes more courses for advanced Ruby and Ruby on Rails as well!
After 3 lessons I feel like I’m learning more about ruby than I have from an other course I’ve taken.
The instructor is very knowledgeable. His teaching style is great. The instructor quickly responses to students' questions. I really enjoyed this course and I'm looking forward to his Rails course.
