Why? I tryin' to open the "hello.rb" program, but it just shuttin' down
why?
The hello.rb file, look's like this...

#!/usr/bin/ruby
print "Hello World"

and by the way... is methods like functions and object's in PHP? Could
some nice guy tell me the basic of methods, why it's important in Ruby
programmin' and so on.

I can't with the title question, nor do I know the ins and outs of
Ruby, but I'm aware methods add functionality to classes.

Sorry I can't be any more .

For one thing, a proper Ruby script ends and terminates itself at the end of
the file if there were no errors. Use IRB instead to play with Ruby, or use
the command prompt and ruby helloworld.rb.




You can also create a Windows command script if you wanted.

Cool, thanks a lot for the information, both of you. But if we sailing
over to the next question "What is method?" I've learn a lot of basic
method, i think like sort, max, reverse, length and so on. I got to know
more about it, thanks again / Ruby Noob

Gladly, it's better to ask a question and be a fool for five minutes instead
of not asking and not letting us . =)

A method is a function/subroutine which is associated with an object. In Ruby,
there are no functions/subroutines which are not methods.

For more than you probably ever wanted to know:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_(computer_science)

Otherwise, you probably want to start at the beginning -- pick up a Ruby book
(or tutorial, etc) which is targeted at non-programmers. If you don't know
what a method is, you're going to have to learn object-oriented programming
as you learn Ruby.

Hi ---

if you want a nice online introduction into Ruby, I'd suggest Chris Pine's
Learn to Program (http://pine.fm/LearnToProgram/).
It teaches you Ruby from no pre-knowledge to using classes for a
small dragon in a game.
With respect to the shutting down part of your question: are you on Windows ?
It might be that your program runs nicely and quits without errors, but that
the window it runs in gets closed, as Windows routinely behaves like that.
You can try out irb in the one-click installer for Windows instead. Or you use
scite (I think it#s included with the one-click installer) or some other editor where you can run scripts in. Then you'll see the result in a special window.

Best regards,

Axel

Hello. Yeah, I did install the "Windows On-Click-Installer". In this
week i'll try to get a book, or hopely a good intrducin' to Ruby. If
your'e knowin' a good introducin' please tell me. This is the dummiest
question ever, but is ruby used for applications or websites? Wikipedia
didn't tell me so much.

I'll test the book you recommend.
