Learning the "Ruby way"

Oh, certainly. I would do it at work, but it is verboten. My only
work-related attachment to Ruby is making sure I know it (I’m expected to
"know" stuff, even if I don’t do it).

May excellent suggestions have been made, so I won’t bore you with my
attempt. But, I wanted to say, “Welcome Hobby Programmer!”

I’m paid to do IT work, but I have increasingly moved my programming
activities into the land of hobby-dom, where I tend to enjoy them more. I
find Ruby to be an excellent language for hobbyists (as well as
enterprise users).

Are there other strict hobbyists on the list?

You have a rule that explicitely bans Ruby? Wow! :wink:

So even if Ruby would make your life easier, you couldn’t use it? Darn…

Sounds like a kind of technology watch job.
