You don't compile Ruby programs. You simply save the source code in a 
file, pass it to the Ruby interpreter, and then the script runs.

Just like with most other scripting languages.

Isn't that just what I've explained earlier?

However, since you've never written a Ruby program before, it may be a 
bit too early to start making webpages. I'd actually start off with a 
good Ruby book (I liked "The Ruby Programming Language"), then read into 
the basics of web programming (how do web servers work, how does HTTP 
work) and *then* start with the webpages.

Ruby isn't PHP, where you can simply throw some code in a HTML page and 
do "trial and error" until you get the desired output. That won't work 
with Ruby.
