This page has links to a couple of Ruby programming applications I made for myself and thought that others may find useful. You are welcome to download them and use them, but recognize that I imply no warranty or guarantee as to their accuracy.
To run the applications you will have to have Ruby installed on your system. Ruby is a free, open-source object-oriented language. Most Linux and Mac systems come with a version of Ruby already installed. There is a one-click installer for Windows users available at rubyforge.org/projects/rubyinstaller.
The TK applications also require that some form of TCL/TK is also be installed on your system. You can get this free by downloading and installing the ActiveTC sofware available from www.activestate.com/Products/activetcl.
No warranty or guarantee of accuracy is implied. Please use for educational purposes only. If you find errors or have suggestions for change, please send me an e-mail at alex.decaria@millersville.edu.
