## Installation

Use the [installation guide at Jumpstart Lab](http://tutorials.jumpstartlab.com/topics/environment/environment.html) for instructions on installing Ruby.

## Running Tests

Execute the tests with:

```bash
$ ruby bob_test.rb
```

Only the first test will be executed, all the others have been made pending
using the `skip` method. Delete the next `skip` as you get each test passing.

## Recommended Learning Resources

Exercism provides exercises and feedback but can be difficult to jump into for those learning Ruby for the first time. These resources can help you get started:

* [Ruby in Twenty Minutes](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/quickstart/)
* [Ruby Documentation](http://ruby-doc.org/)
* [RubyLearning.com](http://www.rubylearning.com/) - Ruby Tutorial and Study Notes
* [RubyLearning.org](http://rubylearning.org/classes/) - Professionally Taught and Moderated Classes
* [Learn to Program](http://pine.fm/LearnToProgram/) - A book (available online) written by Chris Pine
