Thanks for your mail. I want to use it for LINUX and Windows
both. For this I am planning to make it in a file and then print
that file. But I need more specific way to do it. I think
"/dev/lp0" will work. But is there anything to make it formatted
with different fonts, color and size?
I got a book a ruby book "SAMS teach yourself ruby in days"
and after that I am planning to shift in ruby. Basically I am a VB
programmer but I like LINUX and the open source environment. Is
there anything in ruby to make the GUI as simple as in VB? I am
making it in Tk and it is fine but it is taking a lot of time.
I am in Calcutta(INDIA). I am sure that in calcutta nobody(!)
knows ruby. I am also a student. I want to learn ruby. But there
are no such books in here. But after joining in this list I am
getting confidence. Make ruby popular.
LET US RUBY

Printing to the printer is an operation that is very specific to
each operating system. There may be a way to print to the
printer from the Operating system that you are using, but without
knowing which OS that is… we can’t help you.

Do not be surprised if there are other Ruby users in Calcutta. The book Making Use of Ruby was written by an Indian, I think (though he may
be a US resident or even a US citizen as far as I know).
And while we’re on the topic of books.
The Teach Yourself Ruby book is a good one. Mark Slagell did a great
job on that, much better IMO than the average book in that series.
As you may know: Programming Ruby is the definitive Ruby book in
English (called the “pickaxe” because of the picture on the cover). I am
partial to The Ruby Way, of course, since I wrote (most of) it. The Ruby Developer’s Guide is good also.
There’s an O’Reilly book by Matz. It’s the only one in English I don’t
have. I’ve heard it’s very good, but some people have complained about
its organization.
If you speak German, there are a couple of other options, and if you
speak Japanese, there are many others.
And of course, there are many good websites. But you can find them all
eventually if you “manually spider” from the ruby-lang.org site.
