Ruby Update

Last night I cracked out Programming Ruby: The Pragmatic Programmer's Guide and did a bit of learning. I'd done a bit of Ruby programming before I learned C, and this book brought back a few good memories... all the nice little things you can do such as capitalising a string by simply doing "yourstring.capitalize". Delicious. Plus regexp is built in! Madness! Yeah, I think I like Ruby.

I'll give you more details as I learn more, I didn't write much in the way of actual code last night, I'm still learning how it all hangs together.

Ruby

I've been thinking a lot about this recently: I feel that it's a severe hole in my programming knowledge if I don't know any object-oriented languages.

I only know C. Which isn't object-oriented. What am I going to do about this? I think I'm going to learn Ruby, as its apparently 100% OO'd and nice to write in.

I'll let you know how it goes!

Erm, can anyone recommend any books?
