[tech] Ruby Rocks

Woke up too early today. So I spent the morning playing through the rocking Ruby tutorial at http://tryruby.hobix.com/. Guided tutorial with an interactive fully-working in-browser interpreter. Absolutely beautiful. I wish I made it.

Some fun bits:

>> Popup.make do

.. h1 "I should be watching Saturday morning cartoon instead"

.. p ".. but instead I'm playing with Ruby"

.. link "TryRuby", "http://tryruby.hobix.com"

.. end

>> Time.now - 2.weeks

>> def load_comics(path)

.. comics = {}

.. File.foreach(path) do |line|

.. url, name = line.split(': ')

.. comics[url] = name.strip

.. end

.. comics

.. end
