you should had learn a computer programming language like C/C++ java and such... ruby should be very easy *very* easy coming from that side.. but VB........ ;-) Roger Berger escribió:> Is there anyone on this group who thinks they are a Ruby programmer > and learned > Ruby as their first computer language? > > I can pick up a book on any language and follow it except Ruby.

Is there anyone on this group who thinks they are a Ruby programmer and learned Ruby as their first computer language? I can pick up a book on any language and follow it except Ruby. And most Ruby tutorials or books will say they assume the reader has computer experience. And I once wrote a 70 page VB program that is still being used by the State of Ca after 15 years. If a book doesn''t say it they assume it anyway by the third chapter even the "beginning" books. I have come to the conclusion that Ruby is a programming language only for experienced computer programmers. So far. If there is one person that answers yes then I will have hope. Would any kind soul (ie programmer) want to joint venture on writing a course for non-programmers? I would do the writing, PDFing and of course the beta testing. I have the desire to learn and the non-knowledge necessary. I wrote one technical manual and edited one training video. I will pay the hosting fees to sell the course and I would like to do it by goals. Each session will have a goal. If the student cannot achieve this goal they could get a refund. I have no idea on what to charge, something to discuss. I would like to have a quality product so my first thought is $50 per goal. If there were such a product I would buy it and not write it. It would not be one massive book or tutorial. We would do one goal at a time, after each one we market it and move on to the next one. I am in the So Calif area. I know there have been a few on this group who would benefit from this. you can respond to me at ez24hours @ yahoo dot com thanks ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
