Ruby has literally transformed my career from dull, dreary, and even mundane programming, to a satisfying mixture of developing functional pieces of art.
What’s more, I owe my humble beginnings all to Satish and the RubyLearning crew, (especially Satoshi, Victor and Michael). Thanks, thanks thanks. 
Happy Holidays.

Wow, thanks!
Thank you for having created this awesome community, and thank you for such awesome courses.
The thing about your site I really like is this – it’s one of the few places where coding is an art form / fun again and not some painful tech. slavery.
I looked at all the other online classes nd nobody comes close! Happy coding.
BTW how do you code iPhone with Ruby?
You can use Rhomobile’s Rhodes for building apps for iPhone.
Thank you!
Thanks, Satish!
