A Good Day to Learn KidsRuby!

09/23/2011

Last Sunday I attended a KidsRuby class in San Francisco which was part of the Golden Gate Ruby Conference. A few other girls from our BlackGirlsCode group all came to the class with our parents and laptops ready to learn coding with Ruby. We first downloaded the rubykidsinstaller from a small thumb drive and after that started to work. When we were working if we got an answer right our teacher would throw us a piece of candy. And he ominously warned us; “he was no baseball player!” We learned to do a bunch of cool stuff like, making it hack our homework, and learning how to create an etch-a-sketch like application.

Overall the KidsRuby class was really fun, interesting, and informative. One of the Ruby volunteers who was helping us in the class gave me a lot of great tips which helped me think about what was said in the class more and figure out how to do more things with the stuff we were learning. Coincidently he had a daughter with the same name! He helped me have fun in the class! Our KidsRuby instructor also made learning to program fun and I really enjoyed being able to win candy AND learn to code. I got so much candy that after a while the teacher asked somebody else to answer a question! I saved all the candy till the end and gobbled it all down.

I really liked the KidsRuby class because; it wasn't too hard to understand. I also liked the class because it was really fun, and it was really helpful to learn about how to operate ruby a little bit, so I could start on my way to mastering Ruby.

With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement? My site has a lot of exclusive content I've either authored myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any ways to help protect against content from being stolen? I'd certainly appreciate it.

Not easy to teach the children, therefore teachers should be more creative in the use of learning methods. It is quite important that the children can receive course materials are delivered well.
