Ruby Fundamentals November 29, 2010

Ruby is as much a style of programming as it is a programming
language. Ruby has gained popularity as a replacement for
scripting languages (like Python and Perl) because of its
object-oriented features and easy coding style. In Ruby,
everything is an object - whether it is text or code - and each
object can be given its own properties and actions. This
simplifies the coding process, allowing you to focus on
application analysis and design.

Our Ruby training in San Francisco will introduce you to the
syntax, constructs, and typical uses of the Ruby language. In
this class you'll create a real-world contact manager
application. We'll show you tips and techniques in how to:

* Install Ruby and use command-line switches
* Code basic applications using correct Ruby syntax
* Set up the typical programming constructs, such as loops,
conditionals, input, and output
* Write object-oriented Ruby code using classes, methods,
properties, and fields
* Connect to a database and run SQL commands against it
* Write reusable code using OO and Ruby best practices
* Create menu-driven GUI apps with clickable buttons and
textfields
