Hi,
I’m new to the list - I hope this posting is welcome. I’ve been (like
everyone?) learning and enjoying Ruby’s intricacies. One of those
intricacies is explained briefly in the Dave T.’ Pickaxe book:
dynamic methods. The code was from Tadayoshi F. (p. 391 in version
2).
I thought this code was interesting but also quite dense and hard to
understand. I decided to try to write a more readable version, to help
me understand the functions. I didn’t re-implement all of the original
functionality but I came pretty close.
Rather than clog the digest readers’ mail with lots of code, I’ve posted
an article detailing what I did on my website. If there’s a better place
to put sample code, or if I should have posted all code/commentary in
this message, just let me know and in the future I’ll do that. I’ll look
forward to learning a lot and hopefully contributing on this list!
I hope this article is useful to others:
