This is a good way to try programming if you've never done it before. I'm learning Ruby right now, it's pretty fun so far. Very simple, very user friendly.

That's where it's at in web development. Twitter was written using Ruby on Rails.

If I still had my copy of the Wizard book, I'd totally lend it to you. Best computer science textbook ever.

Yep, Ruby is awesome, and Ruby on Rails is a really good way to get instant gratification by making something useful quickly.
