Understanding Ruby.
-
Hi guys, I've been threatening myself for a while to learn ruby to try and put together a few ideas i have the could help my workflow. The problem is starting somewhere....
Any suggestions?
I've found a few user's guides etc. but for a total newbie to programming I need to understand the very basics......
Thanks in anticipation.

Have you looked at the collection of links we have in the stickies in the Developers section?
How about the Ruby in 20 mins mini-tut at the Ruby site? http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/

Cime on, tease us!

well, i can tell you..mental health is the first to go, nightmares, calling people by class, neolithic body posture with bulging eyes (what better proof than your pic, Thom?).
not to mention, always saying "END" when you are using conditionals - it takes a long time to cross the road, unless an old lady comes to help resolving the function!!!

Who are you calling an old lady..?
Can't be me, I must be one of the youngins...looks around

winston churchill put it well in words:
"I had a feeling once about Mathematics – that I saw it all. Depth beyond depth was revealed to me – the Byss and Abyss.
But it was after dinner and I let it go."(in fact, i made my first script which i'm going to publish soon - we're talking extreme complexity..)

Thanks guys, had a little laugh at your comment, Cadfather!!!!!
Thanks for the link Thom. I'll spend 20mins tomorrow getting started and see if it gives me any inspiration......
What I'd like to develop is a simple set of tools for building purposes skewed towards BIM. Yes there are a number of toolsets out there but I would like certain functions to be simpler and hence more functional......
I have started putting down ideas of the what I think could be a basic toolset then a secondary set that provides edits, etc....
Unfortunately, I'm more a visual kind of person rather than technical which is my concern.
Anyway, will see how i go.
