Ruby taught me that you're not supposed to be afraid of the bugs under your bed.

She has friends like the Snow Leopard, who is beautiful but doesn't want to play with the other kids.
比如雪豹,它很漂亮,但不喜歡和別的小朋友玩。
And she has friends like the green robots that are really friendly but super messy.
還有綠色機器人,也是Ruby的朋友,十分友好,卻很散亂。
And she has friends like Linux the penguin who's really ruthlessly efficient, but somewhat hard to understand.

In Ruby's world, you learn technology through play.

And, for instance, computers are really good at repeating stuff, so the way Ruby would teach loops goes like this.
比如,電腦十分擅長做重復工作,因此Ruby會教我這樣用循環。
This is Ruby's favorite dance move, it goes, "Clap, clap, stomp, stomp clap, clap and jump."
這是Ruby最喜歡的舞蹈動作,像這樣:“拍,拍,踏,踏,拍,拍,跳”。
And you learn counter loops by repeating that four times.
這樣重復了四遍,你就學會了counter循環。
And you learn while loops by repeating that sequence while I'm standing on one leg.
同樣,當我一只腳站立,重復這個排列時,你又學會了while循環。
And you learn until loops by repeating that sequence until mom gets really mad.
而當你一直重復這個排列,直到惹怒了老媽,你就知道什么是until循環了。
And most of all, you learn that there are no ready answers.
最主要的是,你明白了,沒有現成答案。
