100 Days Of Ruby

What is this?

100 Days Of Ruby is inspired in #100DaysOfCode initiative and 60 Days Of Go repository, where I learn something new about Ruby every day during 100 days.

This project is a piece of a series called X Days Of Something, which one includes:

• 100 Days Of Python
• 100 Days Of Kotlin
• 60 Days Of Shell Script
• 100 Days Of Swift

Why am I doing this?

Well, writing code that works is easy (most of the time). But writing efficient, clear, concise, scalable, and maintainable code is very difficult. It may be better with a lot of practice in various types of problems and paradigms, in addition to having mastery of the language you are coding. Because of that, I decided to code every day to get out of my comfort zone and improve my view about the huge world of software development.

Why Ruby?

The right question is: Why not Ruby? Everything is beautiful in Ruby: the name, the logo and the syntax, of course. The Syntax Sugar is incredible and makes me miss it when I am coding with other programming languages. In addition, Ruby has a huge library amount, a large community and is used by big players (like Github).

So, let's code?

Usage

These examples were compiled with Ruby 2.5.1. It is recommended to install this exactly version for a correct running.
