[snip question]
sorry if this has no ruby in it, but what does the 101 mean in the
subject. Is it the firefighter's number or what does it mean?
Thanks for enlightening an unknowing german,

Colleges in the US usually number their courses, and the introduction
course to a major is usually numbered 101. So, all computer science
majors must pass CS101.
It means the most basic training on a particular topic.

American Universities typically number their courses
starting at 101 for the first year, 201 for the second
and so on.
So, for example, introductory physics would typically
be named something like Physics 101.

In the U.S. a freshman college course will often be named "Science 101". Therefore we use the slang number to mean something like "The Basics".
Hope that helps.
