Rubyology

For those looking to expand their interest in Ruby, you might want to subscribe to the Rubyology podcast/screencast feed. Thanks, Brant, for the tip.

A word of caution though, these podcasts are pretty rough. Here are a few reasons why:

1. No Labels - Each show is simply a number both when viewed from your iPhone/iPod and on the file system of your OS. Makes it hard to remember what each show is about and why you would want to listen to it.
2. Poor Sound - The sound quality is so low that I have to set my headphones at maximum volume and even then it is hard to sometimes hear.
3. Poor Use of Technology - For me, when you start talking about code, it really should be in a screencast as it is hard to convey in speech only.

I downloaded the screencasts but haven’t had a chance to check them out. I’m hoping they are better than the podcasts. That being said, there are a few tips and tricks that I have picked up along the way.

Rubyology is hosted by Chris Matthieu who lives in the Phoenix area and can sometimes be found at the local Ruby user group gatherings.
