No, this has nothing to do with being new. It's a matter of using the right source for certain information. Sure, you can always hope for someone that will explain everything step by step. And if you actually find a "personal tutor", great! But you should also know where to find things on your own, as it will save you and others a lot of time. Things like the "hash bang line" or Linux file properties are well-documented basics. It's a matter of seconds to find the right Wikipedia article and excellent tutorials. So why post the question in a forum and wait for somebody else to do the work? I'd rather use the forum *after* having done some research on my own. Then you actually get to the interesting points. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
