Online tutorials may teach basic Ruby syntax and some programming concepts. But even then, novice programmers can experience considerable difficulty in attempting even the most basic programming exercises. Programming is all about problem solving. This skill can only be honed through practice, which is what this course is all about.
In this course, you’ll be printing different shapes, performing various tasks, and implementing small games using basic Ruby syntax and data structure. You’ll cover Ruby methods, file handling, and other interesting things like using an API and sending emails. Next, you’ll learn about object-oriented programming and how recursion and backtracking can be used for solving different puzzles. Finally, you’ll finish off the course with a brief introduction to the world of web test engineering.
After completing this course, you’ll be able to take on a series of programming tasks using Ruby syntax incrementally, through hands-on problem solving.
