I was just thinking about what might be an easy way to learn Ruby. I do have "basic" programming knowledge but I might give this a look.

Is it free though?

The best resource I've found so far is LEARN RUBY THE HARD WAY. Despite the title it isn't hard. just makes you get involved with the code in a way that really consolidates each of the tutorials. It's written in a quirky style and encourages you to try different things and see what happens, deducing functions from the results, maybe not suited to everyone's learning style, but I'm enjoying it. Great for people like me who have pretty much 0 coding knowledge / experience.

Feels a bit like learning Spanish to an advanced level just to talk about the weather, but I suppose any other way is just going to be of extremely limited utility.

More fun ruby stuff;

I found a link to this from Trogluddite on the old synthmaker forums, written by the guy who originally wrote hackety hack. Certainly fun, if not quite as practical as learn ruby the hard way, definitely not boring;

he also made TRY RUBY;
