A few month ago I bought a book called “Seven Languages in Seven Days” written by the brilliant Bruce Tate. Bruce explains how to learn seven different computer languages in seven weeks. It turns out, that I was not able to find at least one hour a day for this book. Now I will give me a second and more competitive try: Five languages in five days.

I’m on holiday now and for that reason I’ve five days to learn new stuff and this will be: Ruby, Io, Prolog, Scala and Erlang. To be honest I know Ruby, but maybe it will give me a different view to this language – and it’s a nice and comfortable warm up.

So let’s start with day one: Ruby!
