From: Martin DeMello Date: 2008-02-23T18:44:42+09:00 Subject: ANN: Teach yourself Ruby - the hard way! A frequent question from Ruby newcomers is "Okay, I've read the tutorials - now what?". To that end, I'm putting together a series of tutorials, each of which leads the student step by step through the construction of a complete ruby program. There are no answers and no explanations provided - rather, each question is followed by a hint containing relevant topics to be looked up in the Pickaxe, on Google, etc. The entry-level program is an arithmetic tutor; the reader is assumed to have worked their way through Chris Pine's tutorial, and have a copy of the docs handy. (Later programs will assume that the reader has done the previous ones). Here's the first, tentative draft - comments and suggestions welcomed. http://zem.novylen.net/ruby/tutorial/arithmetic-quiz/arith.html martin
