🗣️ This little voice

You have probably written enough lines of Ruby to feel that you are in your comfort zone!

That's great. But this little voice makes you feel uncomfortable about your stagnation.

So you probably started to dedicate a part of your time to learning new things: a little bit of StimulusJS, a little bit of ActiveRecord, etc...

You feel like you're not making significant progress.

No worries! You are actually in the right mindset!

The only thing you need is guidance! 🧭

🗺️ Your Treasure map

To become a better Rubyist you must take a month (or two) to learn the main concepts of OOP in Ruby.

Here is an exhaustive list of key concepts:

  1. Ruby Object Model

  2. The Ancestor Chain

  4. Ruby Hook Methods

  5. The Eigenclass

  6. Private & protected + message handling

  7. What are modules

  8. The super keyword in Ruby

Once you've grasped these fundamental concepts, your coding confidence is bound to soar.
