A couple of recommended This step by step guide to learning Github: http://www.thinkful.com/learn/a-guide-to-using-github-pages/ My first [hilarious] exposure to Ruby http://mislav.uniqpath.com/poignant-guide/book/chapter-1.htm... Eloquent Javascript [built in console with examples]: https://eloquentjavascript.net/contents.h…

For Rails, the article "What is Ruby on Rails?" http://railsapps.github.io/what-is-ruby-rails.html It's getting a lot of praise as a good starting point for beginners. (BTW I wrote it)

Awesome! I would love if you added it :)

The colors are off. Particularly the yellow. It is hard to read. The blue is nice, could be a shade darker. The last square position is empty. Why not put one there with links to your blog or whatever? Its prime real estate, because the reader will flow into it. Having a blank space there takes away from the design.

This. The boxes are bright, so you would want black text. In general, white text goes with muted backgrounds, black text on bright backgrounds. This hurt my eyes =\.

Also, the page starts with black text on white background and transitions to white on colored. I'd stick with one for consistency, in this case, black.

Here is what I mean, I just changed the box text color to black: http://i.imgur.com/ENnoGnv.png

Awesome! I'd be great if the title of each language was a link to the language's home page (if applicable) rather than having a Home in every box.

That is an EXCELLENT idea. If you can make the pull on github that would be even better! https://github.com/JonHMChan/bento/blob/gh-pages/

Okay! Just give me a few minutes..

Edit: Done! @see https://github.com/JonHMChan/bento/pull/11

Earlier quoted context omitted.

And what are those two?

Java. If you did not write a EJB, a servlet ,used hibernate , and lost yourself with spring IOC, you are not a real developper ( sarcasm ).

Added it in! Need suggestions for links though :)

IMO clicking rails should show sass also. It shows less which can also be used with rails, but if I'm not mistaken sass is still the default. I'm sending you a pull request now. I didn't remove less, I figured you could consider that yourself, just added sass to rails.

Merged!
