The web is filled with lots of resources about Ruby and .Net. It does lack of resources about the combination – IronRuby. I’m sure this will get better as time goes by and official releases are out the door.

Here I’ll try to gather the most effective resources for you so your entrance to the IronRuby world will be smooth and enjoyable.

IronRuby resources

• IronRuby.net – the official site and a great place to start.
• IronRuby Mailing List – THE place to ask questions (look here if you prefer to watch it in a forum view).
• GitHub site – IronRuby code repository on GitHub.
• GitHub wiki - How to get, build, debug and contribute to the IronRuby source.

IronRuby Related Blogs

• IronShay – My blog :) stay tuned, there’s a lot to come in here.
• IUnkown – John Lam’s, the IronRuby PM, blog.
• jimmy.thinking - Jimmy Schementi’s blog.
• RubyDoes.Net – an IronRuby blog.
• Ivan Porto Carrero – the blog of the author of “IronRuby in Action”.

For .Net developers – Ruby resources

• Justin Etheredge’s IronRuby via C# series 
• Ruby-lang.org – The official Ruby site.
• Ruby tutorial – there are many of those, I just like this one :)
• Ruby on Rails – the official RoR site.

For Ruby developers - .Net resources

• Visual C# Developer Center – you will find everything you need there in order to get started with C#.
• Visual Basic .Net Developer Center – everything you need for learning VB.Net.

Enjoy IronRubying!
