I do not know, but I have a lot of questions but no one likes to explain ru=
by or how to set it up. I have read the books Beginning Ruby=A0 or Beginnin=
g Rails. but I guess you and I can try to help each other.

Hello.=A0 I am trying to teach myself Ruby.=A0 I have no background in
programming, or experience... only interest.

I have armed myself with Pragmatic Programmers Learn to Program, as well
as Koans.=A0 I am running into walls trying to learn these things myself,
because I get discouraged when there is no one to turn to when I have
any questions.=A0 I get stuck; I wander off.=A0 This is no good.=A0 Obvious=
ly
there is slow progression, when any.

The issue, then, is where do I turn when I have these (obviously simple)
questions?=A0 It seems both embarrassing and unnecessary to post on such a
place as this, for simple issues in learning (for example, getting stuck
on ruby koans).

Does anyone have a suggestion?=A0 Should I try to dig up a "Ruby mentor",
so to speak?=A0 And how would one go about doing something like that?

-Cassandra
