Free Pathway is a free starter course that gives you an understanding of the true nature of Ruby, not just a surface-level overview. 🚀
Many people start with "hello world" and quickly get lost when they reach real projects. This course helps lay a solid foundation: how Ruby actually handles objects, why everything is an object, how the naming system works, and why some things behave differently than in Python or JavaScript.
What’s included
4 modules with videos, detailed code examples, in-code comments, and exercises that make you think.
Module 1: Ruby as an object-oriented language from the very beginning
Why Integer, String, Array are objects • self in the top-level context • open classes (monkey patching basics) 🔧
Module 2: Type system and dynamic nature
Duck typing in practice • nil vs false vs empty • object_id and frozen objects ❄️
Module 3: Symbols vs strings — when and why it matters
Memory, speed, usage as hash keys • :sym vs "string" in real code ⚡
Module 4: Blocks as first-class citizens
yield, block as argument, &block • first hooks into Proc and Lambda
Who this course is for
Suitable if you:
- have already tried programming (in any language) and want to understand "why Ruby is like this"
- plan to take Ruby seriously and don’t want to return to basics later
- want to check for free if the language philosophy feels comfortable 😊
Not suitable if you:
- are looking for "Ruby in 30 minutes" without deep thinking
- want Rails or web development right away (this is pure language)
What you will study
Why almost everything in Ruby is an object and how it affects code
How to properly use symbols for optimization
How blocks allow writing elegant and flexible code
How to avoid common beginner mistakes with nil, frozen, and object_id
