Hi,
my 50 year old mother wants to learn to code.
She has no computer experience, but she is surrounded with programmers
(three sons and a husband) and she wants to be able to understand what
we are talking about.
She is also quite tired of being a math teacher and is considdering to
quit her job in favour of helping with my webdev company (doing some
mundane inhouse development).
My little brother is busy teaching her Java but I feel Ruby is the
better (friendlier, more productive) language. However I can't seem to
find a good introduction to ruby that asumes no previous programming
experience (there are plenty available for Java).
can anyone point me in the right direction? also if you think it is a
better idea to start programming in Java rather than Ruby, please let me
know why.
Regards,
Francois
