Programming With Ruby Episode 1, Introduction

[metalfacemartinez]

I'd like to see more comments added to the screen while you're talking, eg: what's object oriented programming(or that you'll cover the concept later), why c++ sucks, etc. the video can convey alot more information than just simple list onscreen + your voice. otherwise, i'm looking forward to watching the rest of series. thanks!

@metalfacemartinez Thanks for the input :)

[drums4life5]

Awesome, I look forward to learning my first language with you :)

"Its the video I never had"

You never had a video of a guy introducing himself? >.<

[manwithcode]

@Paetilium I was referring to the video series as a whole. As far as a know, when I created this series, no one else had been using videos to teach Ruby, and when I was learning Ruby, I wished that I could've gone through some video tutorials.

quick question. I am using Mac OSX and its Terminal to practice Ruby. When you mess up on a line, how do you restart a line?

Now that I messed up on one line, it won't read any of the lines afterwards.

[manwithcode]

@parks709 I think pressing CTRL+C should clear it up (or maybe it's command+C because it's a mac, sorry, I'm kind of rusty). Tell me how that works, if it doesn't, I'll try to look into it further.

[PhasmatisApparatus]

Exactly what I was looking for.

[pasobful]

Thanks I will watch all your videos and learn ruby, and i am glad i have video tutorials. Many thanks again. :D

@Nativeboy0 Thanks :) I have name issues...

[Nativeboy0]

@manwithcode your welcome lol... :D

[icexiro]

thx man



[petegrifutube]

thanks for doing this

bit puzzled why you give suitable ruby application as 'games programming' then say steer away from computation intensive application when games are some of the most computation intensive apps you can write.

btw C++ didn't bring object oriented into the world

[manwithcode]

@petegrifutube You're certainly right, games can be very computationally expensive, but I haven't had any problems writing games in Ruby.

My apologies for saying C++ was the first.

Definitely videos are the best way to learn, i have no doubt about it. I think in the future all will be around videotutorials and videolectures.

Thank you for your time in doing this tutorial...

[tempss]

Teach us moar! 5stars.

[eautonomy]

Thank you sooo much Tyler for these videos! really great! When are the Ruby Games videos coming out? hope you carry on the great work

[manwithcode]

I'm really glad you like the videos!

I don't know when I'll be getting them out, I've been really busy lately... But they'll be made eventually.

[kingAhiram]

OK! The tutorials are a nice idea; but I have some suggestions with regard to the presentation:

1 Give a brief summary stating why "Dynamic Scripting Languages" such as Ruby are better suited for Web Application development. What is the merit of using Ruby instead of another language? etc ...

3. C++ is not the first language to use Object Orientation! C++ uses object orientation artificially! As you may know.

cheers.

[manwithcode]

Thanks for the suggestions!

1. I would, but I don't know much about Web Applications. I mainly use Ruby to write scripts and games, not web sites. I know Ruby better than any other language, a comparison would probably be too biased.

2. Woah, where did two go?

3. Yeah I know, that part of the video was more like a hierarchy instead of a history. Though C++ is one of the more well know OO languages. Sorry about that.

[Ashadow700]

Well..... I'v only watched this video so far, but this sure looks promising =D

[USANAmillionaire]

Yo 1 Man 2With 3Code thanks for making this video. i really appreciate it

[manwithcode]

Glad you like it!

Just so ya' know: it's just Man With Code or manwithcode. The 1 2 3 is like the line numbers in a code editor :P

[themewz]

thanks manwithcode

[oceandojo]

Thank you for doing this, it is very needed!

[skribblets]

I'm very interested in learning ruby scripting as I hear it's great as a first language. So far most books I've read seem more complicated then they really have to be. Thanks for these vids!

[SlickSwiftProduction]

Great vids man, five stars

[ilead7]

thank you wery much i hope that you will make more of these

[manwithcode]

thanks for the encouragement! I'm writing the script for the 4th video now

[patheticpassion]

this is awsome dude! i will definatly be watching all of these
