Inspired by phpflashcards.com, I wrote an ajax-driven ruby quiz. This isn’t specifically humanities computing, but ruby is a really nice scripting language, and a useful addition to the digital humanist’s tool box. I’m new to the language myself, and the aim of the thing is as much for me personally to learn ruby as anything else – the questions are written with the intention of making ruby’s syntax clear to the newcomer rather than to be really tricky.
