Course Summary

Ruby is an elegant, Object-Oriented (OO), terse and famously readable programming language that is used by a variety of companies in production. Ruby has a very active developer community and tens of thousands of gems (libraries) for developers to work with. The Ruby for Managers training course teaches Managers, Project Managers, Quality Assurance (Q/A) Managers, and Business Analysts the core Ruby and Rails concepts required to successfully manages software development and testing projects.

Ruby for Managers begins with a comparison of Ruby to other common programming languages found in the enterprise, followed by a discussion and an examination of features unique to Ruby.

Finally, the course concludes with a discussion on using Ruby for new product development and test automation in terms of the process, tools, and impacts to development teams.
