Hi Jason
Thanks to this course, I can confidently tell that I know how to code in Ruby at this point, yet I believe this course has missed an example of creating your own gems, which it's odd, since you have shown examples all along the way on every chapter to practice each Ruby feature you were teaching.
Why?
On the other hand, I didn't see these topics either: inheritance and exception handling.

I think you are right that some of these elements could have made the course more comprehensive. However, I feel (and plan to be) in the wild now with Ruby and I am going to explore other resources to support my journey as a developer.
I plan to : Use other online courses include codecademy and codeschool courses on ruby. Start reading books about the language (I here this is really good: http://learnrubythehardway.org/book/). Write a few of my own applications and maybe an API.
I am going to do all of this before I start looking at Rails. I think the course has got us to a very good level of comfort with a complicated subject. It is up to us to fill in the gaps.
Just thought I would share my plans. Hope you have a good time with Ruby.
