Here’s an example of where I think it would be really beneficial for
those people coming to Rails without a lot of Ruby experience to either
pick up a copy of the Pickaxe book or browse the contents of www.ruby-doc.org.
If you go to ruby-doc.org, click on “core library” and click on “Array”,
you will be amazed at how many awesome methods Ruby already has that
make stuff like this so easy.
Hope I didn’t come across as lecturing you (or anyone else). I just
would hate to see Rails users who don’t know much Ruby miss out on using
the power of such an awesome programming language.

I agree whole-heartedly

Jamey,
You are right. I am new to Ruby and Rails and often forget that Ruby is
a powerful language. I get confused on what is rails and what is ruby
and where to look for what. I actually do visit the Rails API often but
not the Ruby docs. I will now!
Thanks to everyone.
