This document provides an overview of a Ruby class that will teach students Ruby syntax, libraries, patterns and best practices through exploration, test-driven development, and live coding demonstrations. The class structure will include conceptual overviews, demonstrations, and in-class coding sessions where students learn test-first by implementing code to pass tests written by the teacher.

1. RUBY CLASS OVERVIEW

2. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
• Ruby: the language
• Core Syntax
• Some Standard Libraries
• Common Patterns
• Best Practices

3. HOW YOU WILL LEARN
• Exploration: experiment, play
• Test-Driven Development (TDD)
• As a learning methodology
• (not yet) as a development methodology
• Ask questions
• Learn to find your own answers

4. CLASS STRUCTURE
• Conceptual Overview
• Live Coding Demonstrations
• In-class coding

5. TEST-FIRST LEARNING
• Similar methodology to TDD
with a different purpose and workflow
• Teacher writes the test
• Student implements the code

6. TEST-DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT
• Design
• Focus / Project Management
• Collaboration
• Creation of Tests
