I am a PHP developer and have just begun to investigate Ruby. I have looked through the online Pickaxe book and Why's Poignant guide, but I'm anxious to get started programming with it. Unfortunately, I'm pretty short on ideas on what to program that would increase my understanding and proficiency with Ruby. What would you experts out there suggest for a Ruby newcomer who has seen all the tutorials but wants to continue learning? Is there something specific that you always code after learning a language? Any ideas or resources would be appreciated? P.S. Replies like "Practice,Practice,Practice" would not answer my question. Please be specific. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
