@Soyelwaldo @pragprog Hello, yes it does cover some of the basics of OOP, the things you'll need to know in order to program in Ruby.

@jonnyboytobin @Haywyremusic Spotify tells me what I already knew: you are my top two favorite artists! I have a playlist just of your songs, and it's the absolute best. (Your music goes really well together IMO.) Thanks so much to you both!

Don't try this at home. (And certainly not at work!) 😬

The 3rd Edition of "Learn To Program" is out! All of the code is updated for Ruby 3.0 (and 2021). It also has a new chapter on APIs, which was super fun to write 😄

[Chris Pine @OtherChrisPine]

@ccming I don't know, but I assume so if the 2nd edition is there. @pragprog could say for certain.

[Chris Pine @OtherChrisPine]

I’m pleased to announce that the 3rd Edition of "Learn To Program" has just entered beta! All of the code is updated for Ruby 3.0 (and 2021). I’m especially excited about the new chapter on APIs! It was super fun to write.

Check it out! https://t.co/ADh3wTXGuA

[Chris Pine @OtherChrisPine]

It's out of beta now!

[Chris Pine @OtherChrisPine]

@jasonrclark Thanks! (It's out of beta now!)

[Chris Pine @OtherChrisPine]

@HamptonMakes Thanks! (It's actually out of beta now.)

[Chris Pine @OtherChrisPine]

@penelope_zone If there's a local Go club, that would be the easiest way to play teaching games. Also, search for "life and death problems" which are good tactical exercises. Have fun!

[Chris Pine @OtherChrisPine]

@penelope_zone IMO, the best way to learn is through a teaching game. I'd be happy to play a game with you, talking through each move. (I'm no expert, but I could teach you a lot!) Best way to learn async is these books: https://t.co/lxNf8ZY7xC
