Sophrinix / TryRuby

Try Ruby is a interactive shell that quickly and whimsically teaches the Ruby programming language. Originally _why's idea, it has been recreated from the ground up by Rubyists who have a passion for Ruby and for teaching their fellow (wo)man how to program.

I cleaned up your README and made it use Markdown and extracted the license to its own file. #141

I want to help make TryRuby better, and the first step is understanding how it works. And to do that I needed a better README. So I made it for you. Here's my first contribution. I hope you like it!

Hmm. Having glanced through your README, it doesn't seem very current (especially considering that you last updated it at the end of 2009).

Perhaps you could bless me with a brain-dump of how it works now? I see you have two Rails apps (by the looks of it) in the TryRuby directory and the tryruby directory. I don't understand. If you let me know what's going on, I'll try to help fix some of your 44 issues and make new lessons with you.

could you re submit this pull request via how I now have my git repo structured. There will be a top level directory called tryruby which doesn't exist. If you could make these changes against the legacy-non-rack/public version of try ruby, I will pull them over to the rack version I am about to upload. The readme is functionally useless btw. I am about to upload code which uses jQuery console and finally deliver on iPad compatibility. Also, I have permission to use jsLinux. This means I will be pushing a full linux kernel to the browser and using a js version of qemu to run it. This pushes the full try linux stack to the browser. This makes lessons concerning vm tuning or even object inspection/visualization like DrX possible :-)

BTW, the jsLinux inclusion won't happen for another month. I am investigating the possibility of writing my own jsLinux so it can be open source. I have a computer science background, so the task doesn't scare me too much. It's a time issue more than anything.

Thanks again for your help.
