Where should people who are new to ruby go for help?

ruby-talk

Is this the place for people who are new to ruby to post for help?

My problems are learning problems in practice programs, but I still hit
spots where I need help, and it is always good to get in touch with
other ruby users.

Any suggestions as to places to go, etc. are welcome.

I have been to most of the websites, but am not familiar with them.

This seemed like a good place to start and ask for comments.

Sure is.

IRC is a good place as well, as you can get a quick response to simple
questions.

I also recommend the Ruby Documentation Bundle, available at
www.ruby-doc.org, as it contains a beginner’s guide and several
helpful documents.

Cheers,
Gavin

If you want to post some code to be looked at, this new wiki page was recently
created:

Is there a #ruby channel on irc.freenode.net? I haven’t logged on to
the network in a while, but I thought there was.

Try #ruby-lang. There are currently 81 people there (although many of
them are not very active :P)
