About me:

My name is Brandon Hilkert and I've been feverishly building Ruby applications since 2009.

I first got started with open source Ruby gems by contributing to Sidekiq. Since then I've written about contributing to Open Source software and made a few fairly popular Ruby gems myself.

When I attempted to write my first gem, I was pretty confused about the standards and conventions necessary to integrate with existing Ruby tooling. So I wrote this course to in attempts to bridge that gap. I hope you find it useful.
