Hi. I recently picked up a beginning ruby book, having only lightly touched python and HLA before jumping into this, and I really lack the vision needed to form any programs. It's sort of a combination of not quite having a strong enough grasp over the language and its functions crossed against having absolutely no idea what kind of programs I want to write. So I'm just wondering what all of your first types of programs were... simple, no doubt, but I'm just looking for a starting point. Thank you! :) Cameron -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
