Hi there,

Ruby generally, or Ruby on Rails?

If the latter, this is an excellent book - and the courses on here are great too!

Ruby general, I think. Ruby on rails maybe the MVC that i will learn after the general one.

Pls correct me if there were mistakes.

Hi! I will second The Well-Grounded Rubyist. I've been using it in addition to the courses. It has some great examples and I found it simple as a beginner to navigate.
