Do you want to be an interpreted language geek? Are you tired of getting entangled in the dense syntaxes? Does it irritate you to compile your code to machine language first? Are you looking for an easy-to-use scripting language? Well, Ruby is the best pick for you then!

Ruby is a smart, easy-to-use, functional, Object-Oriented programming language, which comes as a wondrous mix of Perl's scripting power, Pythonic capabilities and much more! As Matsumoto, creator of Ruby, implies: "I hope to see Ruby help every programmer in the world to be productive, and to enjoy programming, and to be happy. That is the primary purpose of Ruby language."

This introductory course will be providing you with hands-on practice with the support of a bunch of interactive illustrations, exercises and the integral topics of variables, built-in classes, objects, conditionals, blocks and much more!

Cool, right? Ready to dive into one of the most influential and demanding third generation programming language? Let's tune in!

Ruby: An Amateur's Pitch

## Problem Statement: 

In this exercise, our goal is to store the generated HTML for our mailbox to a
file, so that we can finally view it in an actual browser.

Your objective is to write a file (using Ruby) that contains all the HTML
from the last exercise.

Building on the last exercise, copy your previous code here, and change the last line:

Instead of passing the HTML to `puts` you should be passing it to a different
method, so that running your program writes the HTML file that we are after.
In order to find that method try googling for "ruby write file". Call this
file `output/emails.html`, as it'll be saved under the `output` folder.

When you open this file (`emails.html`) in a text editor you should see the same HTML from
the last exercise. When you open it in your browser it should look like this:
