Are you talking about how to implement certain design patterns in Ruby  
or  
about design patterns themselves? The whole idea of design patterns is  
that  
they are language-agnostic patterns. If you know how they’re supposed to  
work, then the implementation should be easy in any language you are  
familiar with.

And recall that Ruby has some constructs that  
make certain of the classic design patterns  
trivial.
