Embedding Ruby In Your Applications   

Ruby is one of the most popular language among web developers today. The idea behind mruby, however, is to apply Ruby among other fields as well, such as in embedded systems. The goal is to enable a large community of programmers and users take advantages of Ruby in a wide range of areas. mruby promises to help improve productivity & maintainability and gives flexibility to end user. In this basic course you will learn why and how to use Ruby in your applications. 

Content and Overview 

I will start from very basic concepts such as language features, advantages, limitations etc. Since we will be working on a Linux system, I will first teach you some basic command usage on Linux terminal. You will learn installation and different methods of executing mruby code along with the pros & cons of each method. Lastly I will give you a basic idea of how to use Ruby in an embedded system application. Once you finish this course, you will have a clear idea of what is mruby and how to use it.  

While, I write, compile and execute code, you will be able to see this on my terminal and can follow those instruction to work on your own system. Frequently main concepts will be shown on slides so that you can read and remember those concepts.  Lecture-1 and 2 cover most important theoretical concepts, so make sure that you understand those concepts very well. Because of the limited scope of the course, I have skipped many concepts and I encourage you to google those concepts and enhance your understanding.    

There are 8 short lectures and each lecture ends with a short quiz. You are encouraged to ask questions and have a discussion with fellow participants.
