Hi! ``` At the request of a friend of mine, I am doing a blog as I learn to ``` program, and I am using Ruby to learn. So if you would like to check out the progress, suggest sites that should be linked to, or point other newbies in the direction to read it, the address is: [http://digitalmassacre.com/codeerrors/](http://digitalmassacre.com/codeerrors/) Hopefully I will not annoy to many people with the obligatory stupid questions that will follow in the next few weeks 😛 –Gary ---

Tried to post to your blog and got a 404: [http://digitalmassacre.com/wp-comments-post.php](http://digitalmassacre.com/wp-comments-post.php) Not Found The requested URL /wp-comments-post.php was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Anyways, my comment was basically - you don’t really need an IDE. A text editor and the command line are plenty for doing most tutorials. Heck, you can even type “irb” at the command line and you’ve got a nice interactive ruby environemnt to play with. Try typing: puts “Hello, world!” at the prompt and go nuts!
