I would prefer an introduction with Visual Code and Ruby relevant modules, as well as different installations for Linux and MacOs.

Editing my review as I go through the lessons. Lowering my initial rating for now because there are a lot of asides getting in the way of the structured lesson plan. Bits of incomplete information that I find hard to make sense of and apply (section 5, lesson 21). Too many promises that things will make more sense later, be explained more later, that reading the book will explain things, when the video itself should be the thing itself that teaches. This tutorial should be re-titled "Some Demonstrations of Basic Ruby Concept" as its is basically a primer for reading the book and doing your own trial and error, nothing in the videos makes this a way to learn basic ruby programming and there are no "steps" because that would imply each lesson leads to a tangible destination. Starting to lose hope that there is anyone out there who really knows how to teach to absolute beginners, which requires a strict plan, putting everything into context leading the toward completion of a small project where you can see the various elements working together. Still the best tutorial I've used on Udemy yet, though discouraging.

I found this course to be well designed and thorough with its accompanying textbook and example programs. The textbook has some typos that should be edited, but the course is well worth taking.

Pretty good introduction but limited in describing the standard library and kernel objects and methods.
