Help with Ruby

I'm not entirely sure if this goes here, games or the request thread.... So I'll post it here since it's mostly about Ruby.
I'm trying to learn ruby so I ca write my own code for things I've been using of other peoples for Rpg Maker and I wanted to take my hand at writing my own code for it. Well, I found somewhat vague step by step list of what you should learn, here, and I'm pretty sure I understand everything in Step 1 and Step two from, here, my only issue with this website was the final test, i did everything it asked but it wouldn't say i did it right.
On the step by step list it mentions how to make a window when the character press a key button. But after doing this and reading a bit up online .... I have absolutely no clue how to do that. Could someone point me to a good tutorial or an ebook that explains Ruby in a Rpg Maker directions .....or just tell me how to do it and help me understand it lol.
I also have a small question. Why use ruby?I read online that it was made in Japan, I think, and that it was used in old school games, but why use it for this program?

Before trying to learn what you think you need to know, just read a few tutorials on the language and make sure you have understood everything about input. Once you have done this you should google a few tutorials on ruby and gui programming, since this is an area for it self in any language. Once you're done you should really have the "toolbox" with all the knowledge you need to code a rpg.

You could even try to use C++ and OpenGL if you have the time to learn real graphics programming (it is easy but takes a lot more time to learn and code)

Well like i said I know most of what in step one and step two in the first link i gave. The only things I don't really know are if branch, i know how to in C++ and in Linux is it similar? Could you recommend any good tutorials?

If is pretty much always the same in the C syntax languages, except forall and case but the syntax for these constructs can easily be googled if needed.
I can't recommend any good tutorials as ruby is not a language I prefer to use. You should also not rely to much on online interpreters as they are very limited when your statements become just a little bit complicated.
If you already know C++ and linux I suggest just using something like Glade with C++, that way you do not have to learn much and your code could possibly be faster if you are a decent programmer.
