Subject: Re: Ruby training materials suggestions required

what system do you have to work on?
That will determine your IDE / editor choices.
You have C experience? Great. Not much Object experience? No problem.  
Ruby makes it more transparent than most.
You want assignments?
Me too.
So check out Beginning Ruby: From Novice to Professional
and there is always Best of Ruby Quiz.
Otherwise have the pickaxe handy for looking up stuff.
once you feel you got it down, start making something. Even if it is  
translating an app from another language to the Ruby way. That can be  
great and useful.
