Anyone want to learn Ruby

Expand Post »
Hello everyone,

I just started to learn how to program in Ruby. It is a pretty cool language. You can get ruby from www.ruby-lang.org. You can see my code snippets on making widgets using fxRuby (fxRuby is downloaded seperatly from ruby, unless you get the one click installer, which installs everything). But first here is a hello world program written in Ruby:

Hello, World.rb
Ruby Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1.  
  2. puts "Hello, World! I am writing in the Ruby programming language"

Re: Anyone want to learn Ruby

I found a good tutorial for ruby at http://www.math.umd.edu/~dcarrera/ruby/0.3/index.html.

Also c# is going pretty good, I got this app dev program on cd that teaches it. It is pretty good language very similar to c++.

Hi Dark,

beats watching the stupefying TV. Thanks for the Ruby site. Here is an excellent site called the C# school:
http://www.programmersheaven.com/2/Les_CSharp_0

They go really into the fundamentals.

Re: Anyone want to learn Ruby

Yeah, I wanna learn Ruby and I've started a self-tutorial on it on my blog, using the Sams Teach Yourself In 21 Days book and blogging out a post every day of the three weeks:

http://alabut.com/nonsense/2005/03/l...n-3-weeks.html

I'm starting this Sunday, March 22, 2005, but the beauty of the blogosphere is that all the posts will be up forever for anyone else interested. It's building quite a bit of steam and I'm hoping this will be a great resource for anyone that wants to jump into this pool too.

I know this is from awhile back, but you can use print in ruby and it does the same thing as puts.
