Very cool and great design, but I think I would recommend http://rubykoans.com/ over it if you really want to jump into Ruby.

The girlfriend was working her way through rubykoans.com and ran into several problems with the site throwing proxy errors. Maybe it's fixed by now, but something gave me the impression it hasn't been maintained very well.

Great tool! Great for daily practice while learning Rails on another tutorial.

Loved it. I found most exercises and problems easy to do and most importantly it was fun. Looking forward to more lessons, exercise and problems.

I like the peculiar starting level of instruction. Most tutorials like this start with the very basics of programming or skip to demos of hard stuff. This is like a level 2 tutorial for people who kind of know the very, very basics.

Looking forward to updates. I've completed everything thus far.
