I've been looking to learn my first programming language, (well first real language) and I've heard a lot of great things about Ruby. I don't have much past experience, unless you count scripting in mIRC and a workable knowledge in HTML/JS something worthy. Before I delve into Ruby, I have a few questions, and was hoping that people with experience might be able to answer them.
1) Do you recommend Ruby as a first language? If not, what other language do you recommend?
2) What are Ruby's 'limitations' so to speak? Is it a fully fledged language in that I can use it to create software/full on program? Or is it more of a complimentary language?
3) Do you have any links to any resources you found invaluable while learning Ruby?
