If you see anything I've left off, by all means, let me know. I'll be glad to add it! :)

Additionally, if you would like your Ruby site to be linked here, please let us know. We'd appreciate a return link, but its not required.

I've got a site (well forums actually)
Ruby R Us (http://s14.invisionfree.com/Ruby_R_US/)
It mostly pertains to ruby. but for each language that anyone on it becomes familiar with, we add a new section. so far we only have ruby and visual basic (which the express edition is free until November 7'th 2006).
if you dont know visual basic I'm writing a tutorial for VB Express edition.

And as another note. If you know any programing language really well we would like to have ya. (and possibly write a beginners tutorial, by your choice only.)

also we have stuff pertaining to game making engines.
and if you would like to have another one added post in the suggestions catagory.

P.S. I'm slowly but surly working on the site (making it more custom)
