Transcript: Hello Everybody and welcome to Programming With Ruby Episode 18, Out Into The World. I'm Tyler and this video is brought to you by manwithcode.com. In this episode I will be telling you where to go from here, now that you know the basics of Ruby. I'll show you some books, some common libraries. And I'll go over a few more things. Where to go from here Now that this series is almost done, you may be wondering what you should do. First, I recommend you start writing your own programs. Find something you would like to write and just try writing it. You may also want to read a few other resources like books and online tutorials about Ruby for things I didn't cover and to reinforce what you have learned. For books I would recommend:

• Beginning Ruby, From Novice to Professional
• The Ruby Programming Language

If you are trying to make something, but can't do it with Ruby alone, here are some libraries in a few common areas. I won't be providing links, but a quick Google search will find them for you. Web Development

• Ruby on Rails
• Sinatra
• Merb

Game Development

• Rubygame
• rubysdl
• Gosu

Testing

• rspec
• cucumber

Images

• RMagic

GUI Toolkits

• Ruby-WxWidgets
• Ruby-GNOME2
• Shoes

If you need a library for something I didn't cover, you can check Ruby's documentation at ruby-doc.org, you can try and find a project by searching at rubyforge.org and github.com. If all else fails, just Google it. This is actually the end of the episode, but though this video is purported as the end of the series, there is going to be at least one more video, so stay tuned.
