Ruby is a relatively rare, red colored gemstone and a variety of corundum (Al2O3) with traces of hexavalent chromium that’s responsible for ruby’s rich red color. The best, dark colored rubies are from West Mogok, Myanmar (Mandalay Division).

However, that’s not ruby that I would like to write about. Today I’ve embarked on a new journey for me. I am learning Ruby on Rails, a new and promising programming language Ruby with the framework – Rails. I am not a programmer but I wanted to learn something new and something other than chemistry, so for the reasons yet to be determined I decided to peruse a programming language, specifically something that can be used to create web applications, like this WordPress blog . So now I have to see where I can start, I am sure there are tutorials on the Web.
