I’m interested in diving into Crystal over the holidays. What do you think is the best material to learn Crystal if you’re already an experienced programmer?

Appreciate the tips!

While you read it, if you have Crystal installed locally, you can run crystal play to start an interactive compiler tool in your browser you can use to quickly try things as you progress through the documentation.

Once you’re ready to start making something, check out:
