Subject: Re: Is this the correct use of rand?

Thanks for the help everyone! Going to use the range version as I'm 
using Ruby 1.9.3, but it's great to understand exactly how rand works.

One more somewhat off topic question...

Just finished a Ruby class and currently reviewing, and trying to 
improve my comfort with and knowledge of the language. Thinking about 
starting a Ruby on Rails class in the next week or so, but not sure if I 
should wait until I have a better grasp of Ruby or just forge ahead. Any 
thoughts or suggestions?

Also, planning on going through all the Ruby Monk, learn Ruby the Hard 
Way, and Ruby Koans. Any other suggested resources, or suggestions for 
the order in which to go through the resources I listed. FYI, I also 
have a copy of Chris Pine's book.

Thanks,

Emeka
