Not too long ago [Satish](http://satishtalim.com/) from
[RubyLearning](http://rubylearning.com) asked if we wanted to do some
introductory Ruby tutorials on his blog. We couldn't pass on an offer to share
some knowledge and rock out.

An Introduction to Outside-In Development][outside-in]

Harold laid down a wicked solo about Outside-In development. If you're fresh to
the concept and haven't drank the <abbr title="Behavior Driven
Development">BDD</abbr> kool-aid yet, sit down and prepare to absorb some of
Professor Giménez's testing wisdom. (diagram courtesy of [this tutorial] by
Philippe Creux.)

Gem Sawyer, Modern Day Ruby Warrior][gem-sawyer]

The other headliner was my introductory tutorial to RubyGems, exposing some of
their mystical secrets to new Ruby souls. Turns out they're not so mysterious
after all.

Like these kind of tutorials? Let us know, we'd love to write some more.
