I am a beginner in programming and I obviously have a lot of questions.
Since I know most of you are highly experienced in ruby, my questions might
sound simple. I read through the great Chris Pine’s book (Learn To Program,
Second Edition) and now I study from the Ruby Monk website. (This is all
that I have reached so far). So please, if someone has a desire to lose
some time for me, it will be highly appreciated. Or may be some of you may
tell me where I can find additional information for beginning level. Thank
you so much!
I suggest joining the #ruby channel on the Freenode IRC network. Lots of good people there as well.

It's not what I know that counts.
It's what I can remember in time to use.

Hello Boris,
first of all, welcome to the world of Ruby and Ruby development. I hope you
find it a nice and pleasant language to work with and also enjoy the Ruby
community.
That being said, you already are at the perfect place for your questions.
There is not division into beginners, intermediates and pros or something
similar. Just ask away using a concise subject for your e-mail.
I very much hope you like it here.
Cheers!

Welcome Boris,
This is a great place to come for answers to some of the tougher problems that you get stuck on, but as a relatively new Ruby programmer myself, don't forget to always check Stack Overflow first! Usually the easiest way to do that is to simply google search for the problem you are having (error message, 'how do I do...', etc.) and find the most relevant Stack Overflow entry.
That site is a Godsend for everything from incredibly simple beginner questions to pro's with 20 years of experience, extremely particular bug-fixing questions.
Hope this helps and good luck,
-Dave

Hi Boris,
If you are looking for more books to read now that you have finished *Learn
to Program* (excellent choice, by the way), Justin Weiss made a blog post
<http://www.justinweiss.com/blog/2014/09/22/can-you-learn-rails-before-learning-ruby/>
on where to go from there as your skill improves. I'm not affiliated, but
highly recommend his blog in general.
Welcome to Ruby, you've come to the right place

Yes, but does it have “good people” Robert? 
(just kidding of course).
I hang out at #ruby too, but IIRC #ruby-lang (sort of) *official* ruby language channel
