To start playing with Ruby, this is a good start: http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/ruby/setting-up.html

ObjectsAlmost fourty years... that's a lot of time.. Here is the link:
Every entity in Smalltalk's world is called an object. Objects can remember things and communicate with each other by sending and receiving messages. Every object belongs to a class (which is also an object). The class handles all communication (receiving a message and possibly producing a reply) for every object which belongs to it.
Message Sending and Receiving
A message is sent to an object by first mentioning the object and then mentioning the message.
The Notion of Class
The basic class definition deals with just two ideas:
1. The notion of creating objects which have independent existence and memory.
2. The control of the flow of evaluation by sending and receiving messages in various ways.
class OsomMailer
helper :some_helper_name
controller.use_rails_error_handling!
in your controllers.
Here you can find an example: http://pastie.org/151743
otherwise the exception will be thrown, and your test will fail :(.Are still Lisp and Smalltalk the most powerful languages around, or are there ways of providing more expressiveness without sacrificing understandability? Is there a way to combine all the lessons learned from languages like Ruby and Python, and patch them back into a Lisp and Smalltalk core? Is it possible to do this while taking some of the benefits of Io? Can a language be both small, regular, homoiconic, reflective and easy to understand? I hope that Ioke is just that.Más información: http://ioke.org/
