Forum: Ruby How to start programming in ruby ?

Hello all. I would like to ask how do I start programming in Ruby?
1.What should I install? In what work environment: linux or windows?
2.What books should be read in order to implement the theme?
3.During which time you can acquire the knowledge enough to be able to
write applications in Ruby, RubyOnRails?
4.Is it possible to run applications written in Ruby on real-time
systems such as QNX?

1) You should be able to install Ruby in whatever operating system 
you're using.
2 )The Windows installer for Ruby comes with "The book of Ruby". There 
are also numerous tutorials in Ruby and in programming in general just a 
quick Google away.
3) The time taken depends on your current level of experience, your 
intelligence, your capacity for concentration, and most of all the time 
you're willing to dedicate to learning. You should be able to write 
simple scripts within a day and then gradually build larger or more 
complex programs over time.
4) I've never tried it myself but a quick search shows plenty of people 
running Ruby on QNX.

3. Currently dealing with work, in part related to programming. I 
additionally 3 other technologies.You may be able to accept everything 
and learn the ruby. Are you recommending the reading of design patterns?

Linux or OS X is what most programmers are using.

That depends on your experience in programming in general.
Have you never programmed before? Are you experienced in C, Java, ...?
