Ruby

A website that I visit pretty regularly, Sitepoint.com, today published an excellent introduction
for Ruby On Rails (ROR). I, like many of the webdevelopers, have been terribly curious about this
almost "magical, no fuss" web development language, hence the time was perfect for Sitepoint to come
out with the article. Danny's article on Sitepoint gave a brief introduction, but moreso
stressed and emphasized on the "ease of development" that ROR brings along. We've witnessed
years of almost three decades of "hero worshipping" OOP techniques in software programmin...

I was searching this forum to find out if Astahost actually support Ruby. It remains vague to me.
I found Astahost from clickherefree.com when searching for webhosts featuring Ruby. But on
Astahost's own page of complete hosting feature, there is no mention of Ruby. Also, on
free-webhosts.com there is no mention of Ruby under Astahost's description.. Q: Does Astahost
support Ruby CGI programming? if so, what are the general specifications?...

Ok I've had a small introduction to programming while in college, and have been thinking about
getting back into it. After looking around I've noticed that ruby seems to be a good programing
language and easy to use, though not to popular outside of Japan. My question is this, what do
people think of Ruby as a first language for a someone just getting into the programming world?...

Language? QUOTE Have you heard about Ruby? It seems to be a popular topic in software
development circles today. This language came to my attention at a Java conference last spring,
where gentlemen like Bruce Tate (author of Bitter Java and Better, Faster, Lighter Java), Dave
Thomas (Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master), and others were all talking about Ruby an...

Hi... First of all I know that this place isn't best for this, but this fits into 3 different
categories so I decided to place it in main category... If it fits somewhere else better, I
don't mind moving it somewhere else... So now the case. We (I and few other people I know) are
working on 3D engine... exactly we want to create engines for 3 platforms (Linux, Windows, Mac OS)
that would have one scripting interface so we decided to integrate one of those three script
languages with C++ engine to make it more portable. I was searching for some infos that would...

I have been a huge fan of Java for a few years now, and recieved a 5 (out of 5) on the AP COmputer
Science A exam (college level programming, in Java). I signed up for AP Computer Science AB for this
year, but 7 people signed up so the class was cancelled, so I have signed up for next year. I have
also read a few books on Java, one of which is the Exam Prep (Exam Cram) review book for the Sun
Certified Java Prgrammer exam, it looks to me as though I know most of what is tested, but I have
not memorized the limits for the different primitive types. THat is my background ...

Of all the programming languages I have come accross, there is no language which is as fun to use
and easy to program in as Ruby. The iterators in the language and the use of code blocks is just
excellent. It takes just an hour or so to get used to the philosphy of Ruby and bang... u can just
program anything easily in the language. I strongly recomment it to anyone interested in
programming. e.g. CODE 1.upto(10) {|x| puts x} prints numbers from 1 to 10. CODE
"abcdef".reverse! reverses the string to fedcba. Cool /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:...
