A while back someone recommended I take up Ruby as my programming language of choice, and I thought I would have a look around. I did, and some of it interested me, and I tinkered but never really got into it. I wish I had known about Why’s Poignant Guide back then. Even if you have absolutely no interest in programming, or Ruby, it is a silly and hilarious adventure that just might get you to write a program or two.
I really do like Ruby, but have just never gotten into programming much. Scripting I have done now and again, but nothing too big. I think I will give Ruby another go…
I’ll second ruby. It’s a great language.
Not sure I will ever want to learn to program, but the book is great! Very fun! It could even tempt me to think about it!
