Hi everyone,
I’m a newbie to Ruby. I’ve just started learning Ruby for a week, but I
love it 
so much. I wonder is there any website to look up standard
library like C++?
And does Ruby have some standard container like C++ ( vector, list, map,
stack, deque… ). I come from a C++ background, so the way I think in
programming is pretty much from C++. I can see there’s a big differences
in the way Ruby does work comparing with C++. So what is a good way to
start thinking in Ruby way? Can anyone share me some experiences? Great
thanks in advance 
!

contains the core classes.
http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib
contains the standard library.
And does Ruby have some standard container like C++ ( vector, list, map,
stack, deque… ).
The basic containers are arrays and hashes. An array can be used as a
stack or queue, and a hash is a map or dictionary.

contains the standard library.
Be aware that this is 1.8.6 docs.

Array can of course also be used as list, i.e. maintaining a custom
order and with O(1) element access.
And then there is Set for efficient set operations.

If you are considering a book, Programming Ruby, known as the pickaxe,
has a complete reference for core classes and the standard library.
Check it out here

Also, Dave T., the author of the pickaxe book, has a screencast on
ruby metaprogramming. While metaprogramming itself is an advanced topic,
I watched this early on, and felt like it gave me a good jump on
understanding the ruby object model.

Best ruby libraries documentation link + much more is Sidebar for
firefox. Ruby-Doc.org: Documenting the Ruby Language
You may also want to read this site
Ruby From Other Languages,
which explains how is Ruby different from your language.

Here’s one more for the road:
I took the Core Ruby course offered at www.rubylearning.org.
I found it to be very helpful (in fact I’m taking it a second time at
the
end of this month!). You’ll find that the students and mentors have a
broad
range of backgrounds; from someone like myself who is new to programming
as
well as Ruby, to individuals like yourself who have a background in
another
language.
One thing I especially appreciated is that the mentors will challenge
you to
think in other ways.
Hope to see you there!
