This video is a basic introduction to Ruby. It starts out with showing some of the basic reflection capabilities of Ruby such as (10**10).class. Then I talk about indefinite chaining of methods.
Other topics are if...elsif...else statements, method syntax, working with Arrays and Hashes, Hash literals, nil, and blocks, and a basic introduction to accessing Ruby documentation using "ri".

Thanks. Good tempo, I like the human mistakes too. I sometimes end up pausing the video to try out what you're doing in my terminal but since your presentation speed is well paced, I end up typing in my terminal along with you. Note: I'm also using Koans to help complement my online learning.
Thanks, great intro good pace for existing developers.
great, very good ! I like this
Great introduction! Maybe your voice should be more enthusiastic ;)
nice and simple. thanks
It's very good. a little bit confusing about the |x,y| x+y stuff.
Hi Chinmoy,
Your "Introduction to Ruby" videos helped me a lot. Thxs a lot for publishing them. That saved my day :)
Thxs again...
Praveen
Excellent tutorial, Thank you very much
thx,
nice and easy
Cool video... ideal for starters
Which IDE do you recommend? I am not a command line developer.
I needed to get a quick idea of what Ruby is like and this video jumped right in and told me, without unnecessary preliminaries.
Thanks.
Thanks for your vids: I've been trying to learn Ruby (and rails) and your introduction helps. Keep up the good work.
It' s well done
Somethings I found difficult to understand, but i am preety basic basic. Nevertherless, it was a very cool lesson! I DID learn!
hello world
Really nice vid !
thanks for your efforts. Great start
Need more examples of hashes, blocks and iterators and what they are usually used for.
I'm not a native speaker and had some problems to get every word (acoustically).
Some Ruby concepts like the |x,y| syntax need more explaination , I think.
good
You're welcome
Great introductory stuff! thanks.

Thanks to all who have voted :)
Thank you Ryan. You have excellent tutorials on Rails as well :)
Great job! Excellent series you have here. :)
Thanks.
Yes, there is something like py2exe. It is called ruby2exe. I haven't used it yet. But here is the link:
http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/rubyscript2exe/
If you want to create a Mac app, RubyCocoa should help:

You are doing great job there!
Cool videos!
Do you know if Ruby has something like Python's py2exe?
To join together the script and the interpreter, for easier distribution.
Thanks
Thank you. I am glad you found them useful. You might also find http://pine.fm/LearnToProgram/ useful(it uses Ruby as well).
Regards,
Chinmoy.
