To be or not to be a new Ruby tutorial?

Question

Ruby on Rails

For a long time there was an idea to make a tutorial on the Ruby language. And now, at the invitation of a UFO, I finally got to Habr.
The tutorial will cover both the basis itself and the interaction of Ruby with the Sinatra framework. A bit of philosophy is also expected.
In this connection, I have a question for you, dear habrausers: To be or not to be?

Answer 1

Of course to be!

Answer 2

IMHO textbooks should be written based on your real experience, the presence of which I doubt at your age (no offense).
It’s better to start a blog in which you describe interesting and new moments for yourself, it will be more useful both for yourself and for society.

Answer 3

I don’t know the answer to your question, only you know it (you just haven’t realized it yet). Just think:
1. How will your textbook differ from existing ones?
2. Are you ready to spend a lot of time writing, proofreading, preparing illustrations, layout?
3. Are you sure you won't abandon it? Unfinished work is not a good thing: you put in effort, but there is no result.

Answer 4

I want to learn ruby ​​for half a year now.
I'm just a lazy creature.
But I read Habr every day, so maybe this will be a way out for me :)

Answer 5

we need less grandiloquent words, more real examples, moreover, working with sorts on github.
for example, make an online store with a catalog, a basket, comments, ratings, an admin panel, and beat the links: 1st, m-m, and there will be real benefit to people.

Answer 6

If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them.

Answer 7

waiting for more opinions)

Answer 8

With all hands - for.

Answer 9

now strain a little at school, after all, 11th grade, after all, so I won’t promise everything right away. by chapter in the topic. I will start writing tomorrow. and I'll start, about the installation

Answer 10

Who has what axes? I have Win XP, for example, so I will rely on Win.

Answer 11

I thought about it and decided that tomorrow there won't be the first chapter, but an "Introduction", in which an ode to a couple of flattering words about Ruby will be written ... Who is for?

Answer 12

Be! rather, he needs it!

Answer 13

A book (and even more so a blog post) in the format of a reference book, in my opinion, is not really needed. As well as the textbook on the example of abstract pieces of unfinished code. Here's some real task to take apart from A (deploying the dev environment) to Z (deploying the runtime and the application itself on a remote server), learning the syntax along the way - it would be useful, even a CRUD application, not to mention something more complex.

Answer 14

I would not read such a textbook.
Let those who really understand this do it - for example, the creator of the language.
A series of articles with interesting and non-obvious points - that would be good.

Answer 15

And in my opinion, this has already been written a hundred times. Why repeat that?

Answer 16

Write, if you are too lazy to finish, then break it into articles)
