Subject: Ruby Newbie !!!

Hi ALL,

I am Windows Systems Administrator with little or no knowledge of
programming.

I have been hearing a lot about the easy and flexible RUBY on the net
from the past few months, which ecouraged me to take up learning RUBY.

As a systems administrator there is a need for me to maintain the
records of backup , computer configuration , backup automation etc. At
this point i want to work on the model for a web applcation in RUBY
which servers my purpose as my office brances are located in a
different physical locations . Once i am done with the web application
I can host it hence my managers should be able to access it through
HTTP.(I want to add other features in the application which would serve
as office wide collabarative application)

Even it is too ealry to talk about this , I want to learn RUBY keeping
this in mind , having done programming at my graduation level(3 years
ago) I am sure that i can start working on this after 2 months .

Before this i need Suggestions from you all,how should i start off and
is RUBY right one for me ??

Your suggesttions are valuble to me.

Thanks in Advance

Kanthi Kiran
