I have little experience with the command line other than an awareness that it has always been there (e.g. DOS, etc.). I never devoted the time to learn it. That said, I work in the IT field but I am not a programmer (but would like to learn). Clearly though, I bypassed a critical step in the learning process (e.g. UNIX). So, I am beginning with Unix (Bash tutorials) to get comfortable with it. Then, I thought ruby and last rails. Would that be your recommendation? My only concern right now, is that if I read the documentation on Rails correctly, it really wants Ruby 1.9.x installed to work with the latest version of Rails. So, my inability to get that accomplished is kind of a major roadblock at this point. Bob -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
