Learn where you can find them.<p><em>[<strong>Update</strong>: the Rubies in the Rough articles were originally available by subscription, but they are now free <a href="/rubies-in-the-rough">on this blog</a>.]</em></p>
<p>I know this blog has been quiet for quite some time now, but I'm still writing about Ruby. In fact, I'm very excited about a new series of articles I am producing called <a href="/rubies-in-the-rough">Rubies in the Rough</a>.</p>
<p>In that series, I am working hard not to teach the language or syntax or anything else that's trivial, but the thought processes behind how I program Ruby. I think this is some of the most important work I've ever done for Ruby. Anyone can learn a few keywords, but understanding how to think about problems and the solutions we code for them is key, in my opinion.</p>
<p>This new series isn't free, but it is a steal. It works out to two bucks an article and I often write close to 20 printed pages. This is some serious content.</p>
<p>If you want to learn how I think about programming, do yourself a favor and subscribe to <a href="/rubies-in-the-rough">Rubies in the Rough</a>. It can teach you to see programming challenges as I see them and loan you my confidence as you solve them.</p>James Edward Gray II
