The Software Development Foundations with Ruby on Rails course is divided into 4 units, 2 each for Ruby and Rails.
The purpose of their Unit 2 capstone projects was to demonstrate mastery of Ruby. The requirements of the project was that it was to be developed using only standard-library Ruby and Test Driven Development.
The students presented their projects last week and it was fantastic seeing how much progress they’ve made in such a short period of time! (You can see the full list of projects with links to the github repositories below).
I took notes during their presentations. They mentioned the following resources as being especially helpful:
- rubular
- people (peers and mentors)
- seeing the problem solving process that mentors use
- the beginning ruby book (free online)
- slideshare presentaitons
- ruby docs
- beginning ruby! (the book)
- youtube videos
- design patterns in ruby
- yamll.org/yaml cookbook
