I am interested in learning python and ruby, but I use Windows 7. Most online articles I have seen out there are not really helpful to me since they are all explaining about python and ruby in UNIX environment.
I’d like to know if there are any good articles/books about Ruby/python programming languages that are more friendly to windows users that may be useful.
Thanks in advance. any recommendations would be appreciated.
http://docs.python.org/using/windows.html This is from Python’s documentation. It has a few links in there to some standard Python resources, e.g. Dive Into Python, which I would recommend.
http://rubyonwindows.blogspot.com/ This blog is an alright resource; pay particular attention to the posts tagged ‘faq’.
For what it’s worth, though, the underlying basic logic for Python and Ruby is the same on any operating system. It’s installing external libs and doing I/O that’s different.
