Subject: Learning Ruby advice needed

While learning a new language, I find it very boring to read again the
same things like variable declaration, data types, loops etc. Somehow I
just brushed up quickly from a basic Ruby programming book, I learn fast
when I am working on a live project and read simultaneously.

With Ruby (and Python as well) there is a confusion for me. They don't
have a fixed IDE like Visual Studio for .NET. I am not dipping my hands
in Rails at this time but want to write simple Windows apps. to learn
the basic concepts. For this, I either need to learn wxRuby or FxRuby,
which are third-party implementations.

Please let me know how to practice basic Ruby? What type of applications
you wrote to practice and what topics you consider important before
jumping to Rails?
