If you're starting from the beginning, you'd probably do really well  
to use the interactive ruby shell. You can type commands in to it  
directly and see what they do, so it's really good for learning; it  
saves you needing to write programs and try them out.

You can run the shell by going to the command line and typing irb.  
There are a lot of simple Ruby tutorials about on the web. Here's one:

You'll be able to try out the ideas in the using irb.

HTH, Cheers,
