Explore Ruby fundamentals and advanced topics through hands-on sections on classes, methods, inheritance, blocks, lambdas, and metaprogramming, plus exceptions, I/O, and gems.
Learn Ruby conditionals with if, else, and unless, including truthy and falsy concepts, one-line conditionals, and the ternary operator. Build programs using user input and symbol-key hashes.
This lab guides you through building a two-player ruby nim-like game using arrays, cycle loops, and input validation to take 1–3 stones per turn, where the last move loses.
Explore Ruby inheritance, avoid duplication with single inheritance and the super keyword, and learn how parent and child methods interact through method resolution and self context.
Explore how Ruby modules replace multiple inheritance by grouping reusable methods; modules cannot be instantiated, while include and extend create instance methods and class methods, and namespaces prevent name collisions.
Learn how mixins in Ruby use the comparable module to enable object ordering by defining the spaceship operator and including comparable in your class.
Explore blocks and callable objects in Ruby, learn to pass and convert blocks with ampersand notation, and convert blocks to procedures and back.
Master Ruby's exception handling by using rescue blocks to catch errors, inspect messages and backtraces, and control flow with ensure, else, and retry.
Practice lab refactors a Ruby game to validate player names and handle empty input with custom errors, replacing loops with exception handling for correct number of stones via take method.
Explore practical Ruby programming by extending a game project, implementing a versatile output system to render statistics to terminal and text files, with error handling and metaprogramming tips.
Explore open classes and modules in Ruby to add or override methods on existing objects, using monkey patching and metaprogramming with cautions.
Apply Ruby practice by building a command-line tool with YAML config, symbolize_keys, absolute path handling, and rescue-based error management.
