<h1>List of beginner resources</h1>
<p>A simple list of resources for beginner rubyists. Could be useful if you're
just running a mentoring session or similar to get people who are new to ruby
up to speed.</p>

<ul>
<li><h3>Try Ruby</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.codeschool.com/paths/ruby">Try Ruby</a>. Written by codeschool, basic Ruby in the browser. Even has some artwork from Why's Poignant guide..</p></li>

<li><h3>Ruby Koans</h3>
<p> <a href="http://rubykoans.com/">Ruby Koans</a> was written by Jim Weirich and Joe O’Brien, it's a great intro to Ruby, delivered TDD style</p></li>

<li><h3>Codecademy Ruby Track</h3>

<p><a href="http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/ruby">The Ruby Track</a> More coding in-browser challenges</p></li>

<li><h3>Ruby Warrior</h3>

<p><a href="https://www.bloc.io/ruby-warrior/">Ruby Warrior</a>. A prettier version of Ryan Bates' ruby-warrior. It doesn't have the scoreboard / code sharing version though like the
ruby-meetup-resources one does.. Also, it suffers from the fact that you're not in your natural coding habitat. That said, it's great fun!</p></li>

<li><h3>Ruby Monk</h3>

<p><a href="https://rubymonk.com/">Ruby Monk</a> Another interactive platform with a general intro to the language</p></li>

</ul>

Thanks to <a href="http://netguru.co" target="_blank">netguru</a> for putting the initial list together, and helpfully tweeting about it! .. the fuller list is <a href="https://netguru.co/blog/top-free-online-ruby-tutorials" target="_blank">available here</a>

<h1>Resources</h1>
<h2>Contribution Guidelines</h2>
<p>Ideally we are looking for <b>hack night / game resources</b>. While we do have a <a href="./beginner_resources">list of beginner Ruby resources</a>,
ideally we are looking for things which are:</p>
<ol>
<li><b>Ready to go.</b>.<br/>There shouldn't be too much configuration required to get the resource running. Otherwise it's not making your life easier ;)</li>
<li><b>Have a collaboration / team / game environment.</b>.<br/>There are lots of great resources out there for coding challeges etc (some listed on the
beginner page), but what we're looking for is something "fun", like the robotwars, or a scoreboard for some sort of coding challenge type event. Well, that's the ideal
anyway, but sure it's all up for debate, and if you have something to contribute or a different idea, please, <a href="https://github.com/ruby-meetup-resources/new-resources">add your idea</a>
</ol>

<h2>Current Resources</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://github.com/ruby-meetup-resources/rubywarrior_scoreboard">A scoreboard for ruby-warrior</a>(and associated <a href="https://github.com/ruby-meetup-resources/scoreboard_rubywarrior">gem</a>)<br/>This website &amp; gem wrap the excellent ruby-warrior (by Ryan Bates), with the ability to share code and scores between particpants. Easy to fork and setup your own internal competition, and a great way for new rubyists to play with the language and learn from peers</li>
