Why's Poignant Guide is excellent. It takes learning to program to a new and otherwise other worldly angle. I've been recommending it, you'll either love it or hate it. It'd be nice to work on his basic conceptual view and present a basic programming using Ruby class, wearing bunny suits of course.

Here is what looks like a very useful tool for learning Ruby.

I needed some folks using Windows to shell out some precious time to see if I could help them learn Ruby. The secret project is: Hackety Hack. It's a Windows program for learning Ruby with lots of fun examples: downloading mp3s, writing blogs, chatware, and so on. AND, WELL, >>MOTHER CAREY'S CHICKENS<< IT WORKED!! I ended up with 50 participants, about half stuck with it and we saw some amazing progress. I've asked the participants to blog about their experiences, here are the first few: * http://www.greaterbostonrubyandrails.com/HacketyHackBlog.html * http://ostracons.com/entry/272/programmed * http://willscott.name/2007/04/23/HacketyHack Thankyou to the fine, fine people who applied themselves to make this happen. It was one of those beautiful, unforgettable times that really changed my life!! Truly adventure-sized!! _why _______________________________________________ poignant-stiffs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/poignant-stiffs _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
