I'm doing everything Zed suggests and it takes the time it takes. I've tried several other books and online resources, including videos at coding schools, and this one is the best I have found. It feels like a thorough foundation in the basics of Ruby, but since I'm a beginner, I can only speak at my level of expertise at the moment. Zed is a great teacher. Learning the basics of any complex pursuit can be inherently tedious, but Zed's humor and empathy help you stick with it. I highly recommend buying this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Great intro to Ruby overall *by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2015* I've found Zed's LRTHW book to be a great stepping stone into programming and feel that it truly offered me a better understanding Ruby than some of the online tutorials I'd gone through previously. I came to this book after completing some online courses that were essentially "here's something, copy it, hit submit, wasn't that cool!" and even going through most of the books companion site. I found the videos quite helpful for the later chapters, and I really appreciate the authors honesty in many sections of the book. Overall LRTHW is a really great introduction to the Ruby programming language, and I only wish that the book itself would have delved into some more advanced topics in the later chapters or offered another project on top of the Sinatra web-app (a fun little text adventure game) that you build and refactor over the last few chapters. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Learning Programming the rite way. The Hard Way. *by P***L on Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2014* So Far So Good. I have read Learn Python the Hard way few month ago. It was absolutely best way to get started. Stick with thhis book and you will get there. I started this book few days ago, I will keep this comment updated with my experience and thoughts. ## Frequently Bought Together - Learn Ruby the Hard Way: A Simple and Idiomatic Introduction to the Imaginative World Of Computational Thinking with Code - Eloquent Ruby --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/10996538-learn-ruby-the-hard-way-a-simple-and-idiomatic-introduction](https://www.desertcart.in/products/10996538-learn-ruby-the-hard-way-a-simple-and-idiomatic-introduction) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
