From: Glenn West Date: 2008-04-28T19:26:38+09:00 Subject: Re: Ruby For Hackers For me, I find generally ruby is "nice". 1. Easy to do a gui (Either locally or via the web using rails 2. Easy to use a database (In 6 months I've done Oracle, Pervasive, Unify, Firebird, and dbase) 3. Generally easy to "script" to everything from LDAP to telnet and screen scrap the web 4. Easiest to learn (Python was easy to, but the web framework is less mature) 5. I think if you want to do a "exe" py2eye is sweet. I need to find the equiv for ruby 6. Python I think has better graphics libraries (My pcxtojpg didnt require ImageMagik, and is a easy to use command line exe) 7.. I hacked a Color Profile with ruby and bitstructs, so hacking packets is pretty easy to I learned python 18 months ago, I learned ruby 9 months ago. I've not touched python since. Also check out shoes. I love ruby so much I even invested in 6 books. (But you dont need them as almost everything is on the web). If I had any compaint about ruby, its that its "too" easy. :) Nice problem to have. - Original Message ---- From: Phillip Gawlowski To: ruby-talk ML Sent: Monday, 28 April 2008 6:21:00 Subject: Re: Ruby For Hackers -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Luka Lukako wrote: | Which learn first, python, perl or java? which is more easy? | 1. python | 2. perl | 3. and java? Yes. They are all equally easy or hard to learn, nowadays, especially if you already know your way around technical documentation, or know how to use a search engine. (I know that 'Dive into Python' is available for free as electronic version, which is sort of similar to Programming Ruby). - -- Phillip Gawlowski Twitter: twitter.com/cynicalryan Zero defects: The result of shutting down a production line. ~ -- Kelvin Throop III, "The Management Dictionary" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkgU/DYACgkQbtAgaoJTgL99rgCgnTUf5QhtIx45IXA7YeVNNT13 vkUAoJlgwKdlhvhEIA+WdLMq+DqBgX7J =fRDA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- __________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
