- snprbob86 18y agoFirst, you are totally right about HTML/CSS/JavaScript Second, that's a pretty cool link! I don't know Ruby, so I learned a thing or two. Unfortunately, I had to use some of my existing programming experience to save me when I experimented a bit. For example, I decided I liked 'cheese' better than 'honeydew'. That put me in a state where I needed to guess what the tutorial was monitoring for and had to replace cheese to move forward. Additionally, there was times where I experimented and it advanced a page with no way for me to go back. With some polish, this could be a very promising educational tool!
- pygy 18y agoBoth "Try Ruby" and "The little coder predicament" have been written byt the same person, namely why the lucky stiff or _why. His main programming progress for the last two years has been Hackety Hack, a programming environment for kids, based on Ruby. The first iteration of HH was built on top of Mozilla, but abandonned because of cross platform issues. The next version, due this march, runs on Shoes, a GUI toolkit he developed with HH in mind. http://hacketyhack.net/ http://hacketyhack.net/ http://shoooes.net/ http://shoooes.net/
