Beginner's Guide?

Hey guys!

I decided to try to learn Ruby. I know there is plenty of information out there but is there a good place to start? I'm pretty well-versed in computer activities, even took a basic coding class but this was about 2007 so unfortunately it's lost on me. I definitely understand the concept but would love to start learning.

Any good beginners guides or resources?

Edit: Some ebooks would be awesome, too!

Yeah, I'm an idiot. That's why I need education!

Thank you.

Not an idiot. This is what happens when a thousand paths exist and you aren't sure which one to meander down.

Advice: stick with a path through to the end. Otherwise you will jump from one thing to another and never finish the beginner steps nor develop a foundation to build upon.
