So, “Hello” would be the typical way to greet online, right?

I’m fairly new to programming and thought I’d start with Ruby. I’m more  
interested in Web D. for now, so let’s start with Rails. I’ve  
read online that RoR is a “great way to start learning to program”,  
according to Chris P… Is there anything you guys would recommend for  
learning, other than what has already been suggested here?
