Hi all,

I've spent a few minutes this morning working on some code for that Resume
Builder that was suggested to me on this list a few weeks ago...

I have written some horribly ugly procedural code and wanted to get some
input as to how I can make it more Ruby like.

My code is exceedingly redundant.  The only "woohoo!" I have about it, is
that I didn't have to look anything up in reference to write it.

Anyway, I'm stepping out on a limb here and putting out some stuff... I've
ran the code and it works and does what I want.. I just know that it's
horribly tedious.

:)

Thanks!

(PS - Don't make fun of me too harshly :)  )

#ResumeBuilder.rb

puts("Welcome to ResumeBuilder v.1")
puts("Please enter your first name: ")
first_name = gets.chomp.capitalize!
puts("Please enter your last name: ")
last_name = gets.chomp.capitalize!
full_name = first_name + " " + last_name
puts("You have entered " + full_name + " as your name.  Is this correct?
(yes/no)")
correct = gets.chomp
if correct.downcase == "yes": puts("Excellent, " + first_name + "!")
    else puts("Please enter your first name: ")
    first_name = gets.chomp.capitalize!
    puts("Please enter your last name: ")
    last_name = gets.chomp.capitalize!
    puts("You have entered " + full_name + "!  Is this correct? (yes/no)")
    correct = gets.chomp
    if correct.downcase == "yes": puts("Great, let's get started, " +
first_name + "!")
    else puts("Please come back when you know your name.")
    end
end
