[Cialug] OT: Ruby on Rails

[Jerry Heiselman]

I've only dabbled in Ruby. Never actually made anything out of it. As far as
syntax goes, I much prefer Python. At any rate, check out http://tryruby.org.
It's a site that teaches you the basic of Ruby in your web browser in about
15 minutes. It was enough for me to be able to read a bit of Ruby and to
determine that I wanted to give Python a try first.
