What hard and soft skills do you need to be successful with Ruby and Ruby On Rails?

Learning the Ruby programming language requires almost nothing other than computer skills and arithmetic, but developing websites using Ruby on Rails will require a little more specific knowledge.

First, you will need to be familiar with the Git version control system. In my opinion, the technology is not the easiest for beginners, but without it it will not work to start working.

Secondly, the Ruby language is cross-platform and can be learned on any operating system. However, Ruby on Rails - more precisely, the ecosystem of components (gems) for it, is highly dependent on the operating system. For normal high-speed work on Ruby on Rails and delivery of the results of work to the server, you will need to know the basics of the Linux operating system. And in real work, a Ruby specialist will most likely be waiting for Linux or MacOS.
