syntax conversion between C++ or Java to Ruby

Can anyone recommend a good web site that shows Ruby equivalents of common C++ or Java constructs. For example

1) while, for loops 2) private, protected, public

A table would be good..

Any good sites to migrate from the Java language (not web framework) to the Ruby language (not Rails)

Thanks! Chirag

Hi Chirag,

It's not a table like you ask but what I found useful was to read Chris Pine's "How to Program" that teaches you programming with Ruby. I have used C for nearly 12 years, so some of the book was rather simple, but it gave me (quite quickly) the exact introductory class that I needed. It took me through all the basic concepts like what you ask in a thin concise manner.
