Take your Ruby programming to the next level with Huw Collingbourne's simple guide to advanced Ruby coding.
Advanced Ruby: a 2nd-level course. If you have already done some Ruby programming, this course will help to take your coding to the next level. It explains some of the more advanced features of Ruby including blocks and procs, threads, regular expressions, exception handling, singletons and metaprogramming. The course is based on Huw Collingbourne's book, The Book Of Ruby (a copy of 3rd PDF edition of the book is supplied with this course). All the source code is provided in the code archive. This course can be used with any editor or IDE and on any operating system that supports Ruby. If you are ready to go beyond the basics and gain a deeper understanding of how Ruby really works, this course is for you.

This course is very basic. Not what I would expect considering this is meant to be for intermediate to advanced learning.
I enjoyed this course - the course felt a little like an intermediate Ruby course at times, than an advanced course, but I still really enjoyed each chapter and felt there was a lot to gain from all the lessons. The instructor is very well spoken, and explains concepts very clearly.
explications fondamentales très claires. Les concepts sont édicté avec simplicité et toujours avec une explication contextuelle. J'aime beaucoup ce cours.
Not advanced
I expected this course was advanced level and is very basic
This course is ANCIENT and hardly "Expert" level. Everything is surface-level that you are better off finding elsewhere. I kept hoping that it would dive deeper into "expert" territory, but it never did. Could be called "Ruby 101"
Course really old
Great course, Advanced level courses are not so common. Smalltalk comparison is a great addition to the Ruby dev mindset.
I've enjoyed this course, it was quite good. I'd love more detail in some of the methods, but those are in the API, so it's not that big of a deal.
All in all, this course its quite good and 100% recommended.

The course describes several random elements of the language, focusing mainly on details and ambiguities, that (in my opinion) are often no very useful. I didn't really like the way the course was conducted, which involved opening dozens of snippets of code. Also, the core part of the course seemed a bit short. I appreciate the author's work, but I guess I expected something different, more aimed at systematizing knowledge.
