Visit http://www.ruby-lang,org. There''s lots of info there on how it compares to other languages. It''s a dynamic language with many uses. Ruby on Rails, a framework written in the Ruby language, is designed for the web. Ruby itself can be used for many things, including web, automation, shell scripting, and more. Ruby is to Java as Rails is to Spring+Hibernate (I''m oversimplifying here to get the point across.) On 7/26/07, Rohit <rpk.general-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > > I am a newbie.
