Hi Jake.  I’m going through your series of tutorials.  You’ve indicated a couple of times that you’ll list books you recommend on Ruby programming.  It’s probably me, but I haven’t found them yet.  Do you mind telling me what they are?  Thanks!

.When you type in your input and press your enter key the enter key also has its byte added. The chomp takes the character/byte out from the input. Do not forget the full stop -period if American – before chomp (.chomp )

I’m using the ruby app on my iphone, it’s doesn’t like chomp?

how can you use gets.chomp to get input from a browser window (not the terminal) 

i’m struggling with rails and connections the frontend with the backend – i love the gets.chomp method but i can’t seems to make it practical in ruby on rails

I love you

Just started a boot camp and am very grateful I found your teachings. You are so slow and neat with a very clear strong voice.

awesome

I would like to thank you for sharing knowledge and doing an excellent job at it. My deepest appreciation goes to you Jacob. When I do make big money because of this trust me you wont be forgotten.  

I am coding on Sublime Text 3. gets.chomp doesn’t work on it. Please help!

Great stuff man! 

What if you don’t have a middle name? If you put nothing after “Middle name?”, it will result in double spaces between first and last names.

You never explained what  .chomps did !

Where are the books?

your voice sounds a LOT like James Woods, there are times that i keep thinking i’m in the middle of white house down or once upon a time in america.

Hey Jacob, something interesting I noticed if you type
print “Please type your first name”    (Notice here I don’t have a period at the end)
user_input = gets.chomp
puts “Your first name is #{user_input}!”

If I run this program it will ask for my name but it wont return it. Only if I put period at the end of the print statement it will return my name. So I am guessing that a period is mandatory ??

Thanks for simple and beautiful lessons =)

You could also explain why the chomp method is used with gets.

The reason why chomp is used when getting input is because each input you get adds a new line after, to get rid of it you have to use the chomp method so you only get the user input.

JAKE question! i have a working basic client and server and im trying to use what i’ve learned from your videos in this script but its not working. it’s not giving me an error either. here is the code its very short and simple.

require “socket”
server = TCPServer.open(“localhost”, 2000)
loop {

thread.start(server.accept) do |nodervcr|
msg = nodervcr.gets
puts (msg)
}

but when I add in that loop , a series of if then else commands, it does NOT recognize what I want it to ( nor anything for that matter) ; It’s acting as if “nodervcr” is only good for that firts “puts(msg) after that i can’t use it! whats going on here? how do i get the incomign message from the client as a variable so i can redirect the script accordingly?
