Back in August 2006, Satish Talim began a course of free Ruby lessons. Over 100 people signed up and found them useful. The success of the program even led to Satish founding the RubyLearning.com site, a great Ruby resource for newcomers to the language. Satish has just let me know that he's decided to run the course again this year, so if you're a Ruby newbie, head over to Satish's latest blog post where he explains what the lessons are, what you'll get out of it, and how the system works. Lessons start from this coming Monday, 27th August.
