Working the Left Brain
Creative people hate left brain activities. We hate accounting, law, coding, proofreading. As a result the left brain gets atrophied. We fumble around with our calculators when we have to split the restaurant bill. To prevent this, I’ve started some left brain exercises. Since this is the year of code, I decided to learn Ruby.
Most of the code tutorials assume that you have rudimentary knowledge of coding. Even when coders try to explain something they will quickly jump into technical terms like variables and commands.This is typical of engineers. I know because I have an engineering degree (although I wouldn’t call myself an engineer)
As writer, I’m going to break down the learning process in a way a reader can understand. It wont make you a coder but it will help demystify the process.

This series will be called ‘On Coding’ and will be updated weekly.
