So this week I had a a wild hair about learning Ruby. Ruby is a programming language that I heard from friends was better than other languages such as PHP and JSP. WHile I don’t think there is a superior language, i did want to learn the differences between ruby and other languages. SO I did some searching and found some website to learn from. I spent an hour at http://tryruby.org/ and learned a bit about the Ruby syntax, how to create classes and loop through and create objects.
My next stop is http://railsforzombies.org/ - yep Rails For Zombies… basically I will be brainwashed into using Ruby on Rails… did I say brain washed? I meant I am choosing to learn this so I can become a well rounded developer.
I am looking forward to see what I can do with Ruby in general. Rails is a web based frame work and while I have seen some great looking sites built with it, I am more interested in the Ruby portion. I will post some links that I am reading up on. Maybe you have something you want to share about when you first started using ruby.
