[h=2]Course Description[/h]Ruby is more than just a language, it is a whole ecosystem. The power of the language is greatly multiplied by the thousands of gems freely available from the public gem server, but there are also some amazing tools that come already bundled with Ruby.
In this course, you ’ll learn how to use the standard libraries that come bundled in with every installation of Ruby. Envato Tuts+ instructor José Mota will teach you how to:

• manipulate YAML, CSV and JSON data
• apply delegation for better code reuse
