I have just bought a Ruby on Rails book, but I am going to learn Ruby as much as possible through the internet first.
The first thing I need to know is, what is Ruby and what do I need to run it?
Is it likely to be installed on my Linux/Apache server or will I need to have them install it? Is it even a web based language or is it like Java or C, any help, advice, tips all gratefully received, especially if you can point me to a good tutorial to start me off.
I would take jaunt over to the Ruby website – http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/ and begin there. Personally, I found this site to be a good introduction to Ruby – http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Ruby_Essentials. There is a site where you can run the code without even installing it – http://tryruby.org/. I think this should allow you to get to know the language well enough to decide if you want to go any further.
