+1
learning by doing, as for other languages too :-)
hard work after all for the zapping generation
I know other communities and the ruby community is

premium/super/excellent !!

Every language documentation misses / lacks something.
But from what i know especially the ruby community is
VERY newbie friendly and gets you easily over the first hurdles.
There are so many blogs, tutorials and docs around ...

And when you're @ high level some sunny day, just pass
it back to others, just starting or still learning.
Take and give :-)
