Programming is a way to teach a computer how to do something the way the programmer thinks it should be done. Put another way, programming is the description of how to perform some processing. 

In this course, you'll get hands-on experience in programming using Ruby by building a hangman game along the way. In the game, a player chooses a (hidden) word while a second player tries to guess the word. You'll learn to build the hangman game incrementally, and by the end of the course, you'll have a fully functional hangman game while learning the fundamentals of programming. This is a beginner-level course and doesn’t require any prior experience in programming.

The course will provide a strong foundation for the advancement of your programming skills and also pave the way for a career in programming.
