heres an easy to read fun walkthrough about ruby,

http://poignantguide.n et/ruby/chapter-1.html

ruby is a computer language....wel l...my conscience won’t let me call Ruby a computer language. That would imply that the language works primarily on the computer’s terms. That the language is designed to accomodate the computer, first and foremost. That therefore, we, the coders, are foreigners, seeking citizenship in the computer’s locale. It’s the computer’s language and we are translators for the world.

But what do you call the language when your brain begins to think in that language? When you start to use the language’s own words and colloquialisms to express yourself. Say, the computer can’t do that. How can it be the computer’s language? It is ours, we speak it natively!

We can no longer truthfully call it a computer language. It is coderspeak. It is the language of our thoughts.




i've learned php and im learning java.... so far ruby has been my favorite language...its simple and powerful...very easy to understand too...
