I work for development company that deals with loans, and we have all kind of developers from VB to JAVA to Ajax and more. I started to learn Ruby because I have been told its easy to learn and it is very good programming code.
While searching for websites that give some ruby tutorials I found this simple and easy explained website created by Chris Pine(Learn To Program) that thought me a lot about Ruby.
As I said, I am beginner my self so if you never touched any programming code before maybe you could start with Ruby today!
