I have a background in C++ and VB from a few years back, but I’m learning Ruby and Rails for a work project. I remember back in my college days that we’d be given a project every week, and they were something very simple at the beginning (like converting Celsius to Fahrenheit to something very complex by the end of the semester.) I’d like to do something like this again. Anyone have any suggestions? I have a number of Ruby books, but none of them have “do this project before the next chapter” sort of thing in them. It would be a cool feature for some Ruby site to have “12 projects in 12 weeks” reference. If I come up with something, maybe I’ll make the site. Who knows… ---

II Thanks! That is a great site and I will definitely take a look at it. I like that on [sqlservercentral.com](http://sqlservercentral.com) they have the QoTD. Perhaps someday the ruby community will have the same.
