I have a question: I've tried to learn Ruby and don't think it is for me. Too hard to deal with setting up my environment and the language just does not come easily to me. Can you recommend a program like yours that is of very high quality that focuses on Python, JavaScript (possibly with HTML/CSS) or Objective-C?

  What problems did you have with the Ruby environment? I went through this several months ago, and maybe can help you get set up, if you're still interested in Ruby.

    Couldn't get passed running rvm in my terminal on OS X =/

      ...then don't use rvm..there is a version of ruby that comes pre-installed on your Mac, use it. Get one ruby book and read through it, don't worry if you don't understand everything the first time, by the second time you read it, things will make more sense. Also work through the examples in the book.

Any kinds of loans/financial aid for people who can't afford it? I came to SF with the goal of becoming a good programmer, but have a net worth of about 3.5k, one of which is this computer.
