Ruby Is Now Curriculum In Chicago Schools

[administrator]

I talk to teachers these days (because of Studioweb) and to my surprise, Ruby is becoming curriculum in some public Chicago high schools!

 

... I would have figured PHP instead, since it is a much more popular language but I am guessing the influence of the Ruby on Rails guys had an impact. They are from Chicago.

 

Regardless, Ruby is a cool language and fun to use. The only challenge for me, is how to teach object oriented principles to middle and high school students.
