The curriculum covers essential OOP principles including class creation, inheritance, and modules/mixins.
Regular coding challenges and exercise solutions are embedded throughout the modules to reinforce learning.
The curriculum lacks instruction on creating Gems, which is a standard part of the Ruby ecosystem. Note that this signal was provided before the most recent update; while the update label suggests more recent content, it does not prove these specific topics were added.
The instructional order may benefit from introducing debugging before complex topics like recursion. This signal also predates the displayed update, and the update label does not guarantee a correction to the sequence.
The curriculum aligns well with the target of beginning programmers and those transitioning from other languages.
