Hello.

I am posting this for me, and my friends around.

We have just come to know that IronRuby 1.0 will ship in Second half of  
this year, that is round about in 1st week of July.( Approx 101 days to  
go )

We have selected IronRuby for various reasons…

(1) With Ruby… we can stay in touch with best of both the world. ( Net  
and Linux )  
(2) With Ruby, we can work with [Asp.Net](http://Asp.Net) MVC, IronRuby on Rails and Ruby  
on Rails  
(3) With Ruby, we can enjoy my Dynamic language with Clear Syntax.

What puzzles us right away… that what should we study know to take  
maximum advantages mentioned above. Since IronRuby is almost 101 days  
far, we want to grasp as much as we can in the right direction.

We do not know… what to start with, what to read…If we are starting  
with [asp.net](http://asp.net) we get to see all the codes in C#, which we do not want.

Based on your experience, it would be kind of experienced developers  
like you to guide me and help my friends too, who are in the same boat  
with me.

Currently we are learning " Programming Ruby " a new book based on Ruby  
1.9 by Matz himself.

There are no tutorials around or any book around to start with [Asp.Net](http://Asp.Net)  
with IronRuby.

I also thank Mr. Mike M., for guiding me about [asp.net](http://asp.net) in my other  
thread.

Thanks

Rahil

I think your hopes of 101 days is way off. I think the second half of  
2008  
by Microsoft standards and the fact IronRuby is still missing so many  
features and from other indications, you should be happy to see IR by  
the  
end of 2008. This is still the second half of the year, just happens to  
be  
the very end of the second half. So, add another 180 days to your  
estimate.

Hi Rob,

We had read your interview on [Infoq.com](http://Infoq.com) , with Mr. John L. and were  
happy to see that we shall get IronRuby 1.0 by second half of 2008.

We never expected it to be delayed so late.

2008 end is too late for us, we shall have to think some other options  
now.

But what other options can be , thats the main question…

Thanks for your quick hint.
