    Re: Is Ruby a good starting point?

    I am only 2 days into learning Ruby. I notice that Python is much more popular. There is more support, more tools, more books. I am having second thoughts and wondering if I should do Python rather than Ruby.

    By the way, I am the retired ASP dot net, and visual basic programmer. Remember old guys like me learn more slowly, so learning a new language is a major time investment. I want to pick the best one to take me into the world of Non Microsoft Programming.

    well I found a great programming article that is for learning ruby that I am using now, and there have been many others that have been equally good .

    the other ones, well, they exist. python just keeps their documentation more handy .
