=begin



This is an excerpt from the cover of my other new 'zine called =begin. Ruby is the name of the programming language I am currently studying. I decided to enlist the aid of a fun and easy to produce format to organize my learning process.

Old skool is a lot of cut and paste, ransom note style lettering (which I loooove). I'm gonna do my best to bring a combination of typed and hand drawn to the game. One of the things I'm trying to do is bring a visual component to the otherwise text based body of information. (I'm finding it difficult to grasp some of the conceptual aspects purely in words and numbers)

Comments are lines of text written into the code for the programmer's benefit. There are various ways to keep the machines from trying to process this text.

In Ruby, =begin is the way you start comment text that will be more than one line. (=end would be how you finish)

Issue #1 is ready. Contact me if you'd like a copy.
