Training course?

[Partha]

Hello,
I am a newbee to Ruby. Is there a training course anywhere in the US
to get a jumpstart on the language?

Thankyou

I'm not aware of anything on- or offline. But there are people who
are qualified and willing to put something together for the right
fee.

Is this for an individual or a company/group?

Actually, I should also mention that there are tutorials and sample code
online. And there are some good books out there.

Start at ruby-lang.org and rubygarden.org -- everything of any
importance should be a short path-length from those two.

comp.lang.ruby, as you will discover, are a competent and friendly
bunch for the most part.

There's also the IRC channel #ruby-lang on freenode.

There are documents and tutorials available from the Ruby documentation
site, www.ruby-doc.org:

Perhaps also grab the Ruby documentation bbundle:

If you really want a course in Ruby, this is almost definitely the best
thing going:

It would likely be too expensive for you to do by yourself, though.
