Former Java engineer turned Ruby engineer who is trying to understand Ruby and Rails, MacOS and a lot of other things. Worked at Flywheel, FNBO, ACI Worldwide.
I actually didn't end up doing too many koans. I do like the TDD approach, and do a lot of Rspec testing in my day-to-day. Actually for getting started in Ruby I really like the book Eloquent Ruby by Russ Olsen for people who are transitioning from another language. I did Learn Ruby the Hard Way for a while, but it was going kinda slow for me, but I did like the approach for the hands on learning. Otherwise, it helped that I was doing Ruby/Rails at my job, and learning from experienced Rubyists. Also recommend any of the courses from Avdi (avdi.codes/)
Hey, I'm trying to figure out the ruby learning path as well and I'm looking for suggestions. Eloquent Ruby by Russ Olsen seems pretty outdated, am I right?

I haven't found it too outdated, sure Ruby has more features then when it was printed but the main code style, patterns and usage of the different classes (think Struct, Hash, Array, Symbol...) those kind of things aren't going to change too much.
