Ruby Basics

Primitives: built in data types: string, integer, FixNum, boolean, and symbol
Variables: storage container for data
Collections: two types: array (lists) and Hash (key/value pairs). Can hold any data
Methods: resuable behavior. Data can be passed in via parameters. A method can have a return value.
Class: reusable behavior and data
Statements: logic flow is done through statements, like if and case
Looping: looping is done with the each method on an array or Hash

Using the puts method, greet yourself by name
Put your name in a variable (and keep the greeting)
Put your employee number in the greeting as well
Create a list of your hobbies
If you have more than 5 hobbies, the program should say that you have too much going on and that you need to get rid of something
If you have no hobbies, the program should say that you need to learn something
Create a method comment_on_hobbies that will contain the previous two steps
Create a method greet that greets you by name
If the name has Ann inside of it, the greeting should say "your name is a lot like the creator of this program!" (use a regular expression)
Create a Person class that contains a name, employee_number, hobbies, and the comment_on_hobbies and greet methods
Make sure your code is properly commented
Create the people who work in your office by name (as a Hash)
Have the user enter in a name, and greet them and comment on their hobbies
In addition to the current greeting, when a hobby is 'cooking', comment "I like cooking too!". When the hobby is "mountain biking", "biking", or "rock climbing", say "I'm not as into those things"
Write a method original_employee? where it returns true if your employee_number is under 20.
