You can debug through various IDEs (komodo for instance), through IRB, through rescues/alerts, or custom exceptions. I would start here: http://rubylearning.com/satishtalim/ruby_exceptions.html As you are learning, I would work on very simple programs and post your code on gist.github.com as a public gist, and link it here if you have issues. The quickest way for someone to help you isolate something is by viewing your code. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
