Subject: Re: program writing

You really need to have a little project that you want to do. Or you  
may have a project, written in another language, that you want to re- 
write.

If you really get stuck for something to write then checkout http:// 
www.rubyquiz.com/. Try quiz 14 which I thought was quite easy. My  
program worked fine but looked nothing like the other solutions.

The more programming that you do the easier it becomes. Honest!
