Automatic SketchUp creating 3-D Models in Ruby!
-
Hi Guys,
I have to admit that I am a total Ruby dunce! However I have for quite some time harbored a not so secret ambition to at least learn the rudiments of Ruby.
Today I received my copy of Automatic SketchUp Creating 3-D Models in Ruby by Matthew Scarpino http://www.autosketchup.com/ and after reading the first couple of charters I think that my ambition may be achieved by the end of the book.
From what I see so far, its very well thought out and written with a view to explaining and bringing the total Ruby newbie along the road to programing.
I will post updates on my progress here and possibly need to ask some questions. I don't expect to become any kind of an expert, just knowing approximately how things work will be more than enough for me. I will leave the heavy going programming to all the wonderful scripters that we have in the community.
I see that TBD (Tavi Chis) helped Matthew in writing the book .... "Lastly. I'd like the thank Octavian Chis (TBD to his friend and fans). He is a SketchUp scripting veteran, and provided help and support during the early development of this book. He cleared up a number of questions I had, and served a resource for answering difficult concerns."

I'm excited to see your progress Mike. So make sure to keep us all posted. When I started learning I was surprised because I didn't think I would have a single script idea. Then once you get going, boy the ideas start flowing. Now I can't keep up with my thoughts unfortunately. I think you'll be able to take to it. It gets easier once you get the basics down and find all the resources.

Mike, Looked over the preview of chapter 3 and wished I had this book before starting to program. The list of following chapters includes subjects that I had problems with:-) Thanks for the heads up.

Guys, I don't expect any miracles. I will be quite happy if I get to a level that I understand the terminologies involved in scripting ...... still .... I would get a great kick out of producing a plugin

Mike, Have you programed before? If so which languages?
