Ruby for Beginners

Download

This is a book for beginners who are looking to learn Ruby for writing Ruby on Rails applications. We start from zero, and build on the basics of the command line, through installing your development environment and then into the basics of Ruby.

No up-front knowledge is required, though understanding the basics of HTML and CSS will help.

By the end of the book you'll have built your first web app, a basic blog where you can write posts.

The book is 140 pages, and available in PDF and EPUB formats, including a dark mode PDF.

Frequently asked questions

You’ve got questions. We’ve got answers.

Can I get a refund if it's not for me?

I'd rather refund you than have unhappy customers. My only ask is that you delete all copies from your machine.

To be eligible for a refund, you must be within 14 days of purchase.

Update policy

If you buy the book, I'm committing to updating the book as needed when new versions of Ruby and Rails come out. You'll also get any future additions of chapters for no added cost.
