About

Hey everyone! I'm Rahul. In this series, we will be covering the coding language Ruby. Ruby is a coding language designed for simplicity and productivity, which makes it a very easy language to pick up.  It would be very helpful if you had some coding experience, but none is required, and in fact, it is easy to learn some Ruby without prior experience. We will start with the basics of Ruby, and work all the way up to harder subjects. If time allows, we will do kahoot or quizizz at the end of each class. Can't wait to see you all here!

My name is Rahul, and I’m a rising high school senior living in the US. I enjoy digging into coding, machine learning, and other tech fields. Outside of that, you'll find me time-trialing racing games, playing basketball with friends, and cooking. I'm here to help you learn in a way that actually makes sense and is enjoyable!
