I am a beginner in programming and I obviously have a lot of questions.
Since I know most of you are highly experienced in ruby, my questions
might
sound simple. I read through the great Chris P.’s book (Learn To
Program,
Second Edition) and now I study from the Ruby Monk website. (This is all
that I have reached so far). So please, if someone has a desire to lose
some time for me, it will be highly appreciated. Or may be some of you
may
tell me where I can find additional information for beginning level.
Thank
you so much!
Hello Boris,
first of all, welcome to the world of Ruby and Ruby development. I hope
you
find it a nice and pleasant language to work with and also enjoy the
Ruby
community.
That being said, you already are at the perfect place for your
questions.
There is not division into beginners, intermediates and pros or
something
similar. Just ask away using a concise subject for your e-mail.
I very much hope you like it here.
Cheers!
--- EricWow, thank you for your instant response. It is very encouraging for me.
I
will use it for asking questions.
:))
Hi Boris,
If you are looking for more books to read now that you have finished
Learn
to Program (excellent choice, by the way), Justin Weiss made a blog
post
http://www.justinweiss.com/blog/2014/09/22/can-you-learn-rails-before-learning-ruby/
on where to go from there as your skill improves. I’m not affiliated,
but
highly recommend his blog in general.
Welcome to Ruby, you’ve come to the right place

I suggest joining the #ruby channel on the Freenode IRC network. Lots
of
good people there as well.

It’s not what I know that counts.
It’s what I can remember in time to use.
Thank you, Adam I will check this out.
Hi Boris,
Welcome to Ruby community!
Here is my advice: After you have gained a basic understanding of
programming, I would suggest you to read either Rails Tutorial or Agile
Web D. With Rails 4 books. Both are intended for beginners in
web development and teach you essentials of Ruby language as well. Both
books are good, you can pick up anyone of them.
After you have finished anyone of those books and want to continue
further, The Well Grounded Rubyist is a good book for solidifying your
understanding of Ruby language.
Best of luck!
Welcome Boris,
This is a great place to come for answers to some of the tougher
problems that you get stuck on, but as a relatively new Ruby programmer
myself, don’t forget to always check Stack Overflow first! Usually the
easiest way to do that is to simply google search for the problem you
are having (error message, ‘how do I do…’, etc.) and find the most
relevant Stack Overflow entry.
That site is a Godsend for everything from incredibly simple beginner
questions to pro’s with 20 years of experience, extremely particular
bug-fixing questions.
Hope this helps and good luck,
-Dave

Yes, but does it have good people Robert? 
(just kidding of course).
I hang out at Ruby too, but IIRC #ruby-lang (sort of) official ruby
language channel
