I've been asked if I could show various sets of people (approx 15) how to program in Ruby, so instead of individually teaching each one I've decided to host a class of sorts. Some of those interested have experience in .NET and Java, while others haven't ever touched programming. Does anyone have any materials that they've used to teach, or courses I can use to build off of? You're welcome to the stuff I did for seattle railsbridge: https://github.com/zenspider/seattlerailsbridge which you can see here: http://seattlerailsbridge.heroku.com/1 It is meant for total beginners. My group was for the people who had programming experience and I spent an extra hour or two doing live walkthroughs in IRB, doing Q&A, and addressing differences with other languages. None of that is reflected in the curriculum. I also still have all my materials for the course I taught at UW, but that's a 12 week curriculum and it is meant strictly for people with programming experience, so it probably doesn't fit your needs.
