Ruby Projects

This repository contains a collection of Ruby projects completed as part of The Odin Project Ruby curriculum. These projects build foundational and advanced skills in Ruby programming, ranging from basic syntax exercises to more complex, object-oriented applications.

Each project is organized into its own folder and includes clean, well-documented code designed to reinforce the best practices in Ruby development.

About The Odin Project
