This is kind of an extension to my previous code snippet. This language is really fun to use. I find it pretty easy to use and understand. This will create a window with a button.

This is a basic window coded in Ruby. To download Ruby go to www.ruby-lang.org and download the latest version. The latest version includes the FX toolkit that is needed to create this window.
