You can become a coder. While it may seem like a totally foreign language, once you understand some of the underlying principles its actually quite easy - and fun!
Ruby is a fantastically powerful language used by startups and top companies like Airbnb and Twitter. And Unlike languages like Java, C# or Swift, it is relatively easy to learn.
