I'm an architect and I use Archicad11. I used to make parametrical gdl
(the archicad's basic-like description language) scripts.
I started using sketchup, and I think it's a very good tool. I've read
about the possibilities of scripting in ruby in sketchup.
So I'd like to start programming in ruby.
Generally I know what is all about, I know many things about ruby:
-I know where to find the knowledge bases for ruby;
-I know that ruby scripts can be written in any text editor
-etc.
But I don't know many things:
-is there a easier way to write ruby scripts than a text editor?
(which editor should I choose? notepad++? pspad editor? syntax
highlighting? typing assist for ruby syntax?)
-where can I find tutorials for a beginner like me? (I'm not
completely lamer, but I don't know much about this object oriented
programming language)
-where to start from the very first steps?

Don't scare about the name: this is not a hacking tool, but a step by
step tutorial for programming in ruby (from the very first steps).
Originally it was designed for elementary students, so it is very
basic.
I tried last night the first lesson, and it seems to be good!

I've been looking at your post for a while and saw that no-one had
answered so I thought I put in here all I have - forums and blogs and
everything.
Still I believe that simply watchi9ng how others do it and listen to
their discussions is also a good way.
