From: Hidekazu Nozaka Date: 2011-10-13T10:46:07+09:00 Subject: Announcing Ruby-related content on minituku.net Dear ruby-talk readers, Here at Network Applied Communication Laboratory Ltd., we're currently building a Ruby-related e-learning service as part of an employment project supported by Shimane Prefecture, Japan. The service is called "Minituku"* and is available at www.minituku.net. Minituku features a small collection of Ruby-related content. Most of this content is in Japanese, but we have started adding English content too. *) "Mi ni tsuku" is a Japanese phrase which means "to master". The service and the content is currently free to use. The business model for the service is still undecided, but the free content will stay free indefinitely. The following content is available in English: - Training materials (drills) for the Ruby Association Certified Ruby Programmer Silver examination The following content is available in Japanese: - An introduction to Ruby including videos in which Matz himself explains some of Ruby's features - Drills to complement the introductory text - Training materials (drills) for the Ruby Association Certified Ruby Programmer Silver examination We're still working on both content and the system itself and comments are very welcome. You can contact us at minituku@netlab.jp or through the feedback form on the site. ------- Hidekazu Nozaka
