Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie to Ruby. I've just started learning Ruby for a week, but I
love it ^_^ so much. I wonder is there any website to look up standard
library like C++?
And does Ruby have some standard container like C++ ( vector, list, map,
stack, deque... ). I come from a C++ background, so the way I think in
programming is pretty much from C++. I can see there's a big differences
in the way Ruby does work comparing with C++. So what is a good way to
start thinking in Ruby way? Can anyone share me some experiences? Great
thanks in advance !

http://ruby-doc.org/core/

contains the core classes.

http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib

contains the standard library.

The basic containers are arrays and hashes. An array can be used as a
stack or queue, and a hash is a map or dictionary.

Array can of course also be used as list, i.e. maintaining a custom
order and with O(1) element access.

And then there is Set for efficient set operations.

Kind regards

If you are considering a book, Programming Ruby, known as the pickaxe,
has a complete reference for core classes and the standard library.
Check it out here

Also, Dave Thomas, the author of the pickaxe book, has a screencast on ruby m=
etaprogramming. While metaprogramming itself is an advanced topic, I watched=
this early on, and felt like it gave me a good jump on understanding the ru=
by object model.
