Not particularly smart I would say. Frameworks exist partially to make the process of creating programs easier and quicker. Very persistent I would say. I have a lot of persistence, but I don't think that I have enough. For now, put the train set away, and learn Ruby. With enough persistence, you could end up beating some professionals. I looked up reversing strings in Ruby and ROR, no wonder you're bored. I had to write all this to get it done in C and it was quite entertaining: char *reverse(char *s) { char *a=s, *b=s+strlen(s)-1, c; while(a<b) { c=*a; *a=*b; *b=c; ++a; --b; } return s; }
