Perhaps we should have a thread that has postings for some of the more commonly mentioned languages here, such as Ruby, Scheme, Ada, and x86 assembly language. This would give the new readers a place to look up basic information, without overly cluttering the message board. Any thoughts?


As with all fora, many of the questions asked here come up repeatedly, and often can be answered with a few links. In the language-specific boards at Dev Shed, there are sticky information threads that have links to download pages, tools, tutorials, and other resources; but for this 'catch-all' board, there aren't any. While such threads would be useful, having one for each language would quickly fill the top of the board with nothing but language-related stickies.

Sounds good to me.
First resource you'll want for ruby is a book, Programming Ruby. Get it in paper, it's much more usable, and ruby is so poorly documented, frankly, you need the book. link. Oh and it's a good read too

Good idea.
Here's one.
Schol-R-Lea: can you repost the list of links you gave here into that thread?
LP: same with your ruby post.

Done/  As a matter of fact, it was precisely because of that posting that I thought of that; it occurred to me that all the work I'd done for that posting would end up buried in the forum, and that it would make a lot of sense to have it available for future reference. I also added some minor links (mostly to Google searches) for non-x86 CPUs and virtual machine systems.

I initially forgot that we have a separate forum for Delphi programming when I started the page on Pascal and it's relatives. Since there isn't any resources thread in that message board, t may be a good idea for that to get moved there, or at least have a post with the relevant parts in it copied over to there.
I'm gonna try doing some Google-diving on Smalltalk and Ada RSN.
