Ruby Course

[Brian Schroeder]

Hello Everybody,

here at my university we want to give some summer courses organized by
students for the students. As we already have a Python course, I thought
giving also a Ruby introductory course would be a good Idea for making
Ruby more widely known. The course will be a three days block seminar.

My question is, if somebody already has material for a ruby course that
he/she wants to share? The audience is second to fifth year diploma
students of IT.

regards,

Brian Schröder

I thought about my post and decided that the subject line did not say
anything about the content. So heres the post 1.1:

I want to give a three days ruby-course at my university and wonder if
anybody has got some material to share?

Thanks a lot,

Brian

PS: That was shorter and more precise I hope

The only English ruby slides we have:

I can email you the open-office source.

irb rocks. Use irb extensively.

Try to get the audience into coding sth. and explain features
while you fix their programs.

Good luck,

I introduced an OO pseudolanguage in lecture 8 in my SW Eng course last
year to show an example of a design pattern in practice. In the last
slide I revealed that it wasn't pseudocode but real (Ruby) code. I then
executed the code "live", made some changes and added an observer etc.
It worked out quite well and maybe the slides may be of some use:

the source code and some more info is available on the page

it was lecture number 8 a bit down on the page.

For a later verification and validation course I introduced Ruby in the
first week and used it throughout the course. I started a "book" called
"Ruby by Example" but it didn't pan out very well so it was never
continued. Anyway it might be of some interest:
