i think ruby would be a great place to learn to program. it is very 
forgiving
and you have a very friendly working environment, as opposed to having
to figure out the peculiarities of your C compiler for instance.

yes

not at all. i learned programming on a very high level language very 
similar to ruby
and have since moved on to C, C++ etc...

good luck,
