Series Details

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!

Tutor Qualifications

I have taken on course on this a while ago, and can't wait to help all of you guys learn Ruby!

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Please do not miss any session without contacting me at first, because Ruby(or any coding language) builds upon itself

About the Tutor

My name is Rahul, and I’m a high school freshman. I love reading, photography, and the outdoors. In my spare time, I like to read, play video games, code, and go outside. I love math because of the countless number of ideas, thoughts, and outputs, and it's really astonishing to see a subject as big as math unfold into tiny, tiny, parts. As for math, I'm currently taking Calculus 2. I hope to see you guys in my sessions!
