At the time of writing Ruby In Steel 2 for VS2010 is in beta. On the SapphireSteel Software web site go to the Ruby In Steel Download Trial page and follow links to latest beta.

I wouldn't say there is any "ideal" age at which to learn programming. It's really the same when learning any new skill. The best age is when you are interested in doing it. That might be anything from 8 to 80 - though most of us started somewhere in between! ;-)

To run Ruby in Steel, you need to have Visual Basic or Visual Studio installed in your computer?

[SapphireSteelDotCom]

@Aggregate02 @Aggregate02 Ruby In Steel runs in Visual Studio. This can either be a commercial version or a free version (called the Shell Edition, which is completely legitimate and is provided free by Microsoft to third-party software developers). You can download either the normal edition of Ruby In Steel to install into a regular copy of VS or the all-in-one version of Ruby In Steel complete with the VS Shell from the SapphireSteel Software web site

@pomfan45 You are the worst person ever to live.

[LeCigouave]

Huw? Is that really a name? For humans? Welsh names are so odd.

In all sincerity, though: Ruby's a wonderful language, and I applaud all efforts to teach it. And Huw's actually a pretty cool name.

It's fun to see other people teaching ruby on Youtube! You should check out my newest videos. I'm hoping to gear them to beginner-beginner programmers. I'm taking kind of a fun approach to it.

Its so much easier to write "puts" and "gets", as opposed to "cin" and "cout"...

Excuse my sarcasm.

[Bl3ssedWithACurs3]

Why is this so much easier than Java? Not that I say its better thus I find java to be much more organized and stuf... BUT THIS SEEMS SO EASY COMPARE TO WHAT I HAVE TO DO AT COLLEGE D:
