At the University of Virginia Library’s Scholars’ Lab, Wayne Graham and Joe Gilbert regularly offer “A Humanist’s Introduction to Programming (with Ruby),” a short series of workshops geared toward humanities and social science scholars and intended to introduce basic programming concepts with the Ruby scripting language. Graham and Gilbert will reflect on reasons for teaching Ruby to humanists, will discuss the process of introducing programming to scholars with varying levels of technological ability, and will offer a sample of their leadoff workshop.
