I’ve written some irb tutorials you might find handy:

Some irb-related gems I’ve released:

hirb (Tagaholic - hirb) - Pretty print ruby objects as
tables, trees …
bond (Tagaholic - bond) - Custom autocompletion for an
object’s methods, a method’s arguments and more
alias (Tagaholic - alias) - Configurable aliasing for
methods, classes, constants and more
