 Is Ruby still worth learning? You reach the right video, let me explain. This video was brought to you by DigiLink Academy. You're number one source to learning programming fast and get to that six figure salary you desire. Our third day project course includes our JavaScript front end projects, our Python back end projects, our SQL database projects and much, much more. So go ahead and click the link below to our free seven step guide so that you can start reaching your programming goals today. I'll see you guys in the course. Ruby, Ruby, Ruby. Is it still worth learning? Am I wasting my time? It's a legacy programming language right? What should I do? Well, let me answer those questions for you and give you reasons why and why not you should learn. And the quick answer is, hey, by you learning Ruby, do you already have a job lined out? If not, you got questions. If you got somebody sitting there saying, hey, once you learn Ruby, I'm gonna give you this job or you have several jobs in your job market that requires you to have Ruby, then yes. But if you don't have that, you got other options that could probably give you a lot better chance to get a job over time and you would have more resources online and learn from them and you're not sitting out on the island over here on Ruby to help. I'm not here to bash Ruby because Ruby is still used in our marketplace. You got a lot of companies that use Ruby. Ruby's on a rail, a lot of companies that's leveraging those frameworks in that programming language. So I'm not here to bash Ruby. All I'm saying is if you're gonna learn Ruby, you better make sure there's a path to get a job with Ruby programming. A lot of you guys may think, I'm just interested in Ruby, I just wanna learn it. Okay, great. If you're doing that for a hobby, fine. That's perfectly fine. But again, if you're here to actually get a job, you probably need to actually look at the job market to see where programming languages that they want you to have. And a lot of times you're gonna have different companies. You're gonna have the enterprise level companies that's gonna use Java, C, C Sharp, C++, all those guys. Then you're gonna have the data science people who then use Python. There's possibility of Ruby and go as well there. And then you got the freelance community. That's where you're gonna really start to see the PHPs, MySQL, all that stuff like that. And again, Ruby has its market share, but it's a very specific group of companies that need that. And if I had to just pick one of the programming languages to use, Ruby is in the conversation. But if it's the top option, if I really got other options, probably not. But again, don't think that is completely a waste of time. And it is worth learning if you have a potential job prospect that's sitting there waiting. But at the end of the day guys, I can't cover everything in this video. What I will do though is give you an opportunity to comment below about your struggles on what you've been learning. Have you learned Ruby? Have you been learning anything else? Comment below, tell me about your story and what you're seeing in the marketplace when we're talking about Ruby so that we can get started guys. So I know I rambled a little bit up front. I get a little passionate sometimes about programming languages and what you should learn and what you should learn. But at the end of the day, really come down to where do your goals? Are you looking to get a job? What is that job requirement? And even if you, let's just say for an example, you a person who learned Ruby and you're like, man, Rod, I feel like I'll waste my time because I don't have any Ruby jobs available. No, you didn't waste your time because at the end of the day, all most programming languages have a core essentials and fundamentals as far as just arrays, you got variables, things like that. So going from Ruby to something like Python or Java, it's not that big of a deal. And if you can learn one, you're gonna learn the other. You just need to make sure whatever you're learning, there's a path to get a job. And if there's a job at the end of that learning, then you're good. What all you need to learn is debatable. You got two different schools of people. You got one school over here. You gotta learn any and everything about the program lanes before you even start applying for jobs. And you got the people like me who say, hey, I want you to know the fundamentals. I want you to know enough to be able to do sufficient projects. But once you get to that point, you need to be able to apply your skills to be able to learn on a fly and learn specifically what you need to get that job in a complete task. And again, nothing wrong with either is just whatever comes, whatever works for you specifically. But at the end of the day guys, you've got to get started. And I know a lot of you guys don't have a roadmap to success. That's what we talk about in our seven step guide. Links are below for that in the description. It's a free guide guys gonna help you even with Ruby. There's some good stuff for you. Even in your transition to other programming languages as well. We talk about that. And if you guys already got seven step guide, go ahead and check out my 30 day developer course. Really gonna put you in the position to become a developer and start to make some money and move forward in your career. So links are below to all that. So go ahead and check that out guys. So at the end of the day, I personally think with most legacy programming languages, there's gonna always be somebody out there that's using Ruby. There's gonna be always somebody out there using Cobalt. There's gonna be always somebody out there using a legacy program language. The question is, can you get a job at that place? And the question is, is how much time you wanna invest in a program language that you might not be able to get a job in? Maybe you guys just love Ruby for whatever reason that may be. And that's fine. But just make sure if you are looking and pursuing this as a hobby, that's your hobby related stuff. And then if you're looking for your career, you really gotta think about the third party, the company, what they need and stuff like that. If you're just doing it for a hobby, go ahead and pursue it. But if you're pursuing this as a career, that's where you really gotta focus in on what the market needs, your projects that you need to create with Ruby or whatever programming language and kind of go from there. Because a lot of you guys are going to struggle to learn how to code. And the last thing I want you to do is struggle on a programming language that's not gonna help you get a job. And that's gonna create more frustration for you guys and really gonna put you in a position to quit. And we definitely don't wanna do that guy. So at the end of the day, we try to make sure you got the most efficient way to learn how to program with a programming language that's gonna allow you to learn quick, get those quick wins and also transition to more of an enterprise level language. That's usually how our strategy works. Unless we're dealing with some coding geniuses who already know how to code, got everything under control, they may not necessarily know how to showcase their skills or know what projects to actually put on the resume. But we can help you guys with any of that stuff. So don't worry about any of that. At the end of the day, we're just here to help regardless of where you at. And that's my goal, guys. At the end of the day, just really trying to create a academy that's gonna identify what your needs are specifically when you're trying to become a software developer or you're just trying to make some money on the side regardless if you wanna have some resources for both use cases and help you guys succeed in your life as a software developer.
