  1. who am i? • ruby dev by day • dancer

    by night • drinking enthusiasts always • recently ruby motion dev
  2. ruby motion is ballin’ • obj-c sucks (not really, but

    it’s a little gross) • i do ruby 8+ hours a day - allows me reuse that knowledge • easy to get started, use any editor, REPL (irb like) console • native performance
  3. where to start? • i have found myself learning in

    a cycle of 3 stages • immersion • zombie coding • terrible code
  4. immerse yourself • read every book, blog, article, neighbor's screen

    you can get your hands on • watch screencast • go to meet-ups (good job) • you will not understand it all
  5. zombie coding • work through a lot of example code

    • do not copy and paste anything • run into compile issues, run into syntax errors, run into all the errors • this is where i often feel i’m not learning anything and wasting my time
  6. terrible code • so good you won’t even know you’re

    doing it! • you will get stuck: ask plenty of questions (really) • move on if you get really stuck (rare) • make a goal and just do it
