Hey I've been wanting to learn ruby for a while now, dunno what to do or where to go to do it lolz. Was just wondering if someone could give me a little nudge in the right direction cus googleing it just comes up with pages for people that know, even if I add "for dummies" to the end lol! Never scripted before, never editted or changed scripts, so I could use a realy realy basic and simple guide if possible.
Preferable content woud be a free HTML page or an E-book, but I'm not OVERLY bothered about that so yh, thanks :)
Thankyou Very much from DJ Unlogical
I agree. Though, I think the "Help -> Content" (F1) has an explanation on it... it's just not the simplest thing to read if your not Ruby Syntax savvy.
OMG It's on there! lol! a few hings anyways.. I'm rang my friend wo does a very limited about of Microsoft Visual Basic scripting to see if he can make any sence of ruby language.. turns out he downloaded the actualy ruby files from ruby lanuage website.. emailed me a HUGE guid for using it... started reading it and got to the first topic,was like WOAH confusin...and that was just the introduction LMAO. still if anyone know anything it would be GREAT to know too =] (@ admins, maybe a schooling system on rmrk.net that would be cool xD)

Try this.
It's not for RMXP scripting, but It has the general Basics
If this is just Ruby, then that link should be good. If this is for RGSS/RGSS2, wrong section. Either way, learning Ruby would be good. It's more practical, and Blizzard, a well known scripter, did not know RGSS but, instead, Ruby first and picked up RGSS fast enough. It might not have been Blizzard, but there was someone like that. :P
If you want the in-depth guide actually made by the creators of RUBY, then go here

If you want to buy it (the online version is free), the book is a great table-side resource. (I've got a copy on my shelf)
