Rys Friendly Guides

Five colorful books

My name is Ryan Hodson, but you can just call me “Ry.” I create and distribute software guides that are friendlier and more engaging than the typical approach to computer education. Free online previews are available for all of my books, so grab some coffee, take a seat, and start your journey through the programming universe.

First Release!

Ry’s Friendly Guide to Git is the first in a series of books chronicling my own high-tech trek through the software industry. Come learn the ins-and-outs of managing source code the same way that I did: by creating repositories, committing code, sharing branches, and experimenting with the endless possibilities of Git revision control.
