Far from it.  Read these books:

        Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
        http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book-Z-H-4.html
        http://swiss.csail.mit.edu/classes/6.001/abelson-sussman-lectures/

        How to Design Programs -- An Introduction to Computing and Programming
        http://www.htdp.org/2003-09-26/Book/  

        Concrete Abstractions -- An Introduction to Computer Science Using Scheme
        http://www.gustavus.edu/+max/concrete-abstractions.html

(Don't worry about scheme, it's just some pseudo-code. You can still
do the exercises in Ruby; have a look at:
http://www.codepoetics.com/wiki/index.php?title=Topics:SICP_in_other_languages
(of course, I would advise you to learn scheme and/or Common Lisp and do SICP 
exercises in these languages, but Ruby is OK)).

Once you've learned SICP, and a few other programming languages, it'll
start to look more like it.
