From Amanda & Michael Morin:

As a programming language Ruby is growing by leaps and bounds. It's come from relative obscurity in the early 2000s to quickly becoming one of the most popular programming languages in the world. Though its most popular use is on the web, Ruby is being used everywhere from shell script replacements to GUI applications. It's clean, it's fun and the freedom of syntax makes it less work and less confusing than some programming languages. This site is for anyone wanting to learn Ruby. Beginners who have never programmed before and programmers looking to switch to Ruby or add it to their repertoire will all find relevant articles and information.
