        Hi reluma.

        Ruby on Rails is a framework for web site development. It is written in the Ruby Scripting language, and it generates Ruby scripts as well. So, they are really not the same. Think of Ruby on Rails as an application witten in Ruby for folk who create web sites.

        You can start your learning journey by going into Help in SketchUp and selecting "Ruby Help". That will give you some basics of what the Ruby API within SketchUp does and can do. Look at the examples that come with SketchUp.

        There are lots of Ruby Language Tutorials on the web. Search and you'll finds lots of them.

            ... and most Ruby programmers own this book:
            http://www.pragprog.com/titles/ruby - The Pickaxe

            But be warned: Sketchup includes Ruby 1.8.0 as far as I know. AND Sketchup does not come with most of the libraries mentioned in the book.

            If you can read German, search the old Sketchucation Sketchup forum for the German section / my topics. I've tried to introduce Sketchup-Ruby to a programming newby.
