title: Ruby practical for Android Development?
body: <p>I am trying to break into a bit of development and have been advised Ruby is quite an easy / powerful language to get started on.</p>
  
  <p>My main hope for learning a programming language was to break into mobile development.  I have heard Ruby can be used for Android development with the right 'kit' but is this a practical language to use for this or will it end up being a more long winded approach than just learning Java from the get go?</p>
