Hi all,

I recently finished reading the 2nd edition of the PickAxe. I thought it=20
would be a good approach to get a overview of the language before even=20
beginning to play around with it much.

I came to this mailing list in search of a community. :)

I am primarily a web developer, so obviously Rails interests me. However,=
=20
since my background is in ColdFusion and I still have room to develop there=
,=20
I'm not sure if I want to start playing with Rails as my first steps in=20
Ruby. So, I'm wondering what kind of ideas and suggestions you guys have.=
=20
Perhaps there are some common programming tasks that one would benefit to=
=20
learn in any language. Maybe you're doing some great non-web stuff with=20
Ruby: I'd like to know about it.

But speaking of Rails, how easy is it to find some Rails-supported hosting=
=20
out there?

Hmm, this message feels rather scatterbrained. I guess I'm just looking for=
=20
a little guidance from the community. How did you get into Ruby? Etc.

Okay, that is all. Thanks for bearing with me. :)
