Subject: Ruby for the Nuby article

I've got a series of articles titled "Becoming a Software Developer"
running on the InformIT website. It should give you a feel for how I
intend the book to turn out:-)

The first part of the series is called "Ruby for the Nuby".

<<When first learning how to write software, immediacy wins every time.
Beginners are helped by the immediate feedback that comes from interpreted
languages. Many developers first learned to program using interpreted
BASIC on a home computer. In the age of objects and the Internet, Ruby can
fulfill the same role for a whole new generation of developers.>>

The URL is kind of long, so I've linked it from my homepage as well in
case this email wraps it in the wrong place.
