Its not like I don’t know Ruby
Its not like I don’t know Ruby
I’ve read about Ruby a lot, and practiced with some code snippets and even started on a large app (some kind of management service with an XML-RPC frontend) – but I haven’t yet written something meaningful with Ruby, something that I can look at and say – “Ye, I can write Ruby real nice now”.
I had the same problem with Python for a while, then I sat down and ported my web-comics-strip-fetching application to Python (and a few other modifications such as a DB backend, split mails, CLI etc’).
When I got down and dirty for a while and came up with a gem – then I can say that I know how to program in Ruby.
