Try learning ruby in your browser with a live Ruby interpreter:
http://tryruby.hobix.com/

Start by typing "help" on the Ruby command line.
It's a lotta fun.

Don't let it sit idle for more than 10 minutes between chapters
or you'll need to start the chapter over from scratch.

If you stop, to move to chapter 2, type "help 2", to chapter 3,
type "help 3" and so on.

Took me a little over a half hour to go through the lessons.
