Hi, I''m new to ruby and programming in general but I really like what I can do with ruby so far so if anything I say seems wrong, it most likely is. just correct me and lets move on. Programming a command prompt that asks "Shall we play a game?" was fun and all but I want to take my experience with ruby to the next level. I want to make windows applications since web development really isn''t my thing any more. This is how I found Ironruby... Which I have no clue how to use but am sure as hell that it can help me make windows applications. Now asking the one and only stupid question that will most likely never get an answer "How to I use this?". Don''t answer that, Don''t even think about it because it will drive you mad trying to word it into a 500 page book. Instead please point me in the magical direction of the already written 500 page book on how to get from point A(installing/configuring where I can start writing code/debugging building and testing) to Z(I guess that would just be building exe for distribution) Now I''m not telling you NOT to write the 500 page book, if your willing to help me out that way then I shall read it and love it. thx -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
