I viewed all your tutorials about Ruby and found that they are very interesting. Could you give some more information about what is the best programming language to learn because I am freshman to computer programming.
I’m glad you liked the tutorials! (I think you liked them, does “found interesting” == like ?)
You asked: Could you give some more information about what is the best programming language to learn
After programming for a while, I’ve seen that question many times, and its like asking: “What is your favorite programming language?” Since programmers tend to tell people to learn what they like the most. So I’ll tell you Ruby! One of my friends will tell you GML. A teacher of mine will tell you C++.
A question I have for you would be: Why do you want to learn programming?
Do you want to make games?
Websites?
As a tool to help with math?
Image processing?
Automation?
Operating System development?
… the list goes on, and I may never guess your reasons
Programming languages are just tools, a means to a end. If you have never programmed before, it’s good to start with an easy to understand programming language. I find Ruby to be both easy and powerful, and it cuts some of the crap languages like C++ have. That’s why I use Ruby, but you may not like Ruby or it may not be suited for your needs. Many languages are better for certain tasks. There are some things I *can* do in Ruby, but won’t because there is something better suited to what I want to do.
So with all that, I will end with the question: Why do you want to learn programming?
Hey Manwithcode..
I love your tutorials, but in the 5. tutorial you make a ‘?’ in irb.
when I make that sign I press ALT + 179, and it works everywere but not in irb there it just writes agi….
can you please help me
Man ! Please – work make more content! Belive people needs it ! everyone will apriciate ! More Youtube videos with explanation realy realy helps A LOT
I am russian and i think i am going to start a russian community of games on ruby – becouse i like this language a lot ! and it is crossplatform – this is a huge good.
I started to learn JavaScript for Unity3D – but it wasnt so interesting. becouse on ruby you can build games, webs, software (maybe) and you will understand everything. Even if to write a game on ruby is much harder right now for me becouse i havent even tryed – i feel that it will be revolutionary.
i will answer why do i learn programming – i want to make games. and i wont learn other then ruby – becouse i speak the same language as code.
I am a “late” visitor to your website. As I continue learning
programming, I came across your Ruby Tutorial programming
on youtube last week (Nov 21, 2011) I then proceeded to your website http://www.manwithcode.com
To my surprise, it seems you are moving to different directions.
It is a sad news to me because I think I found one the best youtube “Professors” in explaining programming.
At the same time, I wish you the best.
Also soon, this upcoming this December I will be donating to your website.
Hopefully, you will decide to come back in tutoring. You kick A… in teaching.
i would like to say im very new to ruby and i would like you to know i find
your vid’s very well done and they are helping me a lot pls thank you
for your help – Earle
I am trying to get rvm 1.9.2 on my OSX, but am having problems.
I have been following the steps on http://screencasts.org/episodes/how-to-use-rvm
but even if I install rvm, my terminal can’t find it. Are you familiar with this at all and do you have any recommendations?
I don’t use RVM or a mac regularly, so I’m not sure I could help too much. I’d say that you should make sure that Ruby and RVM are in your terminal’s PATH, that’s all I can think of.

Hmm… I don’t know… Anyone else know the answer to this? I’d check out one of the many Ruby forums, or the ruby irc channel if I were you.
I want to follow your tutorial on ruby. Actually, I want to know how to downloand rubygame library and install it.
Best regards

You’re looking for the syntax highlighting I use on the website, yes?
I use Alex Gorbatchev’s syntax highligher: , which you can hook up to your site with just a few lines of javascript.
