Ruby is your ally to become a Rails ninja!
Learning Ruby isn't just recommended; it's essential for mastering the full power of Rails.
Mastering Ruby
Imagine Ruby as your toolkit and Rails as your workshop.
Before crafting masterpieces in Rails, you must first sharpen your skills with Ruby.
1. Understand Object-Oriented Magic
In Ruby, everything's an object. Understanding Ruby's Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles is like mastering the art of craftsmanship.
- Classes and Objects
- Inheritance
- Encapsulation
- Duck Typing
- Polymorphism (via duck typing)
- Abstraction emulation
- Method Overriding
- Modules and Mixins
- Class Methods & the Eigenclass
- Object Lifecycle
- Method Visibility
- Method Lookup Path
- Object Model
- etc...
It's the building block of your coding journey in Ruby.
2. Idiomatic Ruby
Ruby's syntax is like music to a developer's ears—smooth, elegant, and expressive.
Mastery of Ruby's idioms is like learning the rhythm of a dance.
Once you find your groove, coding becomes a joyful experience.
- Blocks and Procs
- Symbol to Proc (&)
- Enumerable Methods (each, map, select, etc.)
- Method Chaining
- Convention over Configuration
- Metaprogramming
- Ruby Hook methods
- Short-circuit Evaluation
- etc...
Conclusion
Mastering Ruby isn't just a suggestion; it's a prerequisite for becoming a Rails ninja.
So, spend time honing your skills in the world of Ruby.
