Greetings all:

I’m new to Ruby and loving it thus far. I’ve written a smallish (165lns  
w/ comments) app to get a feel for some of the language’s  
idiosyncracies, and I’m wondering if anyone would like to take a look  
and coach me and others on more efficient ways to do the things I’ve  
done.

I don’t mind posting the code here, but thought it best to ask first, as  
I’m yet unfamiliar with this list’s standard etiquette.

Thanks,

-Matthew

Very good, and thanks. I’ll post it in a new thread called Optimizing  
for Newbies.
