I think we have a pretty good handle on some programming concepts in gerneral. Things like strings, integers, variables, methods, etc. We only need to talk about one more thing before we can start playing around in Ruby. You need to know what an array is.
And array is basically a collection of things. You can think of it as a kind of a list But instead of just a list as a group of words, we have a group of objects. You can also think of an array as a long row of boxes all in a row. We can store objects in the boxes. Kind of like a long row of cubby holes.
That’s enough talk, let’s get down to business. Or as hip programmer kids say “Let’s get down to Ruby.” Once we install Ruby (we only need Ruby at this point, not RubyGems, Rails, etc.) we will follow along with a quick tutorial in Ruby directly from the developer’s website: http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/quickstart/
