Ruby hides away a lot of the complexity of programming, allowing you to work quickly and 'do more' with fewer lines of code.

This makes it a great programming language for beginners, but learning any new skill can still be a daunting task.

After learning about strings, numbers, and booleans, you'll see how to store collections of objects with arrays and hashes.

You'll then learn how to control the flow of a Ruby program using boolean logic. The book then delves into OOP and explains inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism.

Gradually, you'll build your knowledge of advanced concepts by learning how to interact with external APIs, before finally exploring the most popular Ruby framework ?

Ruby on Rails ? and using it for web development. Throughout this book, you'll work on a series of realistic projects, including simple games, a voting application, and an online blog.

By the end of this Ruby book, you'll have the knowledge, skills and confidence to creatively tackle your own ambitious projects with Ruby.
