I am a handsome man who recently decided to go back to school to study Computer Science, and as of this exact point in time I have exactly two programming classes worth of knowledge under my belt.
The university where I attend requires that everyone takes Java for their first three programming classes and so I have decided to start learning a second language outside of my course work. There are two reasons for this:
1. I enjoy this sort of thing.
2. I hope it makes it easier for me to get a job when i finish school.
I wish I had a wonderful reason to have selected Ruby to study along side of Java, but i don't. It does however seem new and fun and exciting.
I am going to use the exercises in my Java textbook as a base for learning Ruby. Which means that since I have already completed a majority of them in Java as homework for my classes I hope I can use that knowledge to speed up my Ruby learning process. (Time will tell!)
As of now, i do not have a Ruby textbook or a Ruby book to learn from. If I acquire one at some point I will document that here in my blog. My intention is to use information found on the Internet and of course Google, Google, and Google.
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS BLOG:
1. I am not a writer and I have no desire to be one. I will at the very least try to use the spellchecker.
2. I have no idea what I am doing most of the time... Be prepared to read about the answers and
the resolutions to dumb/obvious/ ridiculous questions that any idiot in my shoes should already know about programming/software/hardware and etc.
Hopefully I can do a decent job of documenting what I am learning for my own reference and
enjoyment.
I must say that after two semesters worth of Computer Science courses I have already learned a lot and met some really nice people who seem to really enjoy Star Wars and wizards and dragons and stuff.
