Learn Ruby

I’ve picked up a lot of Ruby through osmosis, so I think I just need to make sure I’ve dusted the corners to claim basic “learned” as a goal.

I’m going to start the Pickaxe book again (I only made it about 70 ages in before), and call this done when I’ve read the first 13 chapters.

Now that I know the basics of PHP, I’d like to play with RoR a little more.

I down loaded a ruby 186-26.
dcarrera ~/ruby $ irb—simple-prompt>> 1 + 2=>

I’ll rather learn Lua instead.

mmmmmm after i finish with FLEX, AJAX, Action Script, php, lisp, java, javaScript…..

maybe i get some time to learn RUBY jeje…..

and then have some more free time if ruby is as fast as they say it is

I seem to have picked up a lot of Ruby by osmosis while doing Rails. I’ll have to take another look through the book, and decide what I’m missing for me to consider this “done”.

I’ve looked into Ruby before but didn’t stay with it. Now my job has put me in charge of their website so I actually have a reason to do it.

I’m sure that most of you have seen this site but in case you haven’t

I was taking a look at it a couple of years ago but found the learning curve a bit too steep. Now I’ve come back to it again.

I want to Learn at least basics in Ruby language and create a web-app for general purpose like movie list etc.

I started to learn Ruby, but I am busy working on other things, so I am going to give up for now. I’ll see if I can squeeze out some time to work on it this summer.
