Learn Ruby, Koans Options

[Uronacid]

Hello All,

So I've been trying to learn a new programming language (Ruby). It's like the anti-python. They're both scripting languages. However, where python tends to be very ridged and strict with regards to syntax, ruby is very lenient. In fact, I can see many programmers hating it for that very reason. Sometimes the code you write in this language can be so loose, but black magic will allow it to run properly.

Anyway, there is a great tutorial which cover a good amount of the ruby language, syntax, structure, and a few functions/libraries. I encourage you all to install the language on your desktop and install Ruby Koans.

Ruby works on any operating system, and the base syntax is the same for each. There are a few functions that are custom to an OS. In fact, Ruby on windows is really sweet because it is very easy to access WMI.

I'm on the koan "about_iteration.rb". I love this language. Figured I'd share it with you guys.
