Mentoring?

[leam hall]

Hey all,

The PHP community has a mentoring website, https://phpmentoring.org. Does
the Ruby community have something similar?

I'm trying to move from "just the basics" to better pure Ruby. No Rails,
not a lot of gems, just the core OS. I can get almost everything I want to
get done with that and some JSON and a little Nokogiri.

One of the real challenges for me is learning to go from the very small
stuff to the decently sized stuff and not get too lost along the way. Of
course, I'm also the guy stuck on Ruby 1.8. :)

There's http://www.railsmentors.org/. It has some pure Ruby topics, but I
haven't used it so I'm not sure how the setup works. Let us know how it
works!

It would also be better to have a Ruby mentors website. The fact that
popularity of a web framework is much more than its programming language
makes me crazy, especially about Ruby...

There are also a few ruby mentors websites that exist today (ruby NOT
rails). I believe they're all sites where you pay for mentoring services if
that's something you're up for. I don't know guys, perhaps this is a great
opportunity to build something like this that is free. You'd just have to
try to figure out how this is any different from the various programming
forums that already exist.

/shrug just my 2 cents.

Thanks ,

I haven't used the service so I can't vouch for it, but Bloc.io is a paid
service that has mentors and they teach Rails (presumably also Ruby):

Hello,

Just my two cents - you might connect with the local Rubyists in
your city / community to find mentors. I've put together a world wide
directory of Ruby user groups @ Planet Ruby [1]. Cheers.

PS: For example, in my "home" town, that is, Vienna (Austria in
Central Europe) - there's the "classic" Vienna.rb group but also a
(special) study group for beginners called Ruby Habits meetup.

I like that. I might have to steal that.

Are they free-form, or are they studying anything in particular?

Good question. Sorry, I'm from out-of-town and, thus, can't haven't
been too any of the RubyHabits meetups. The RubyHabits meetup page [1]
has all the info e.g.:

Together we'll be working on several projects together, such as:
- Making and running ruby programs
- Object oriented programming crash course
- Making a Sinatra web app!
- A git-tastic intro session
- How to make life easier with Rake
- Making fun games with gosu
- Handling errors and bugs
- Making a blog with octopress
and many more, community projects!

Basically, if you want to work on it with us, bring it along! We'd
be happy for you to show off or had the group help you with your pet
projects.

Cheers.


PS: There's also a Ruby beginner's study group in Berlin called Ruby
Monstas [1]. Again sorry no first hand experience the site says:

Ruby Monstas stands for (Berlin) Ruby Monday Study Group’stas, and
this is our homepage...
At the moment there are around 20 people joining on a normal Monday,
splitting up into 4 groups, and supported by 5 coaches:
- A beginners group, learning the basics of programming in Ruby;
- An intermediate group, learning the basics of building a web application;
- An advanced intermediate group, building their first web application
as a shared learning project;
- A more advanced group, maintaining Speakerinnen and learning about
more advanced topics;
- A Clojure group, mixed skills levels.
