Hello, I am very new to ruby. Been in the tech field for over 10 years, however new to programming. I have gone through most of [http://www.math.umd.edu/~dcarrera/ruby/0.3/](http://www.math.umd.edu/~dcarrera/ruby/0.3/) which has been very informational. I am looking for a good place to post newbie type questions. Probably what most of you will consider very basic questions not only with ruby but questions that are due to my lack of experience with any other programming language. Woulld this forum be a good place for me? If not any reccomendations would be greatly appreciated. > **路路路** > > -- > Posted via [http://www.ruby-forum.com/](http://www.ruby-forum.com/). ---
