Hello,

I'm new to the Ruby community, but I am very adamant about joining.
I apologize for the inital #help command that was incorrectly sent here.

I'm a full-time web developer in Chicago.

I hope to contribute in the future.

Thanks,
Moises Montenegro

James, 

The Ruby system is at www.ruby-lang.org. It contains all of the source code for the Ruby system, written in C and Ruby. If you're running on Windows, you should use the Ruby Installer for Windows, at ruby-forge.org. This has all the software for Ruby on Windows: you download it and run it, and you have Ruby on your computer. 

If you haven't read a book on Ruby, I really recommend you do that. You might possibly find `Ruby: Visual Quickstart Guide' useful. According to the listing on ruby-lang.org, it had 4 glowing reviews and no bad ones, so it might be a good book. You can probably find it in your local public library if you don't want to buy it (I found it in the online catalogs of 2 suburban Vancouver-area libraries, so libraries in your area probably have it as well). 

Hope that helps -- vincent

  i don't know of any disk, but maybe some of this will help...

  these two are the ruby and rails base class api's, which will give you 
information on the built in classes and how to use them:
ruby-doc.org/core/
api.rubyonrails.org/

  the "pragmatic guide" is also very good, and has examples and 
tutorials:
http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/

  this is also a decent introduction tutorial:
http://www.troubleshooters.com/codecorn/ruby/basictutorial.htm

  and, of course - there is my personal favorite, the "poignant-guide":
http://www.thinkingaloud.net/whys-poignant-guide-to-ruby/

These are all excellent books, and for those who really want to grok Ruby,  the Poignant Guide is excellent. But for somebody who is brand new to Ruby, and to programming in general, I'd still recommend Ullman's Ruby: Visual Quickstart Guide as a really good place to start. It does things like walking you through installing Ruby, for example.
