Lookin' on Up...To the East Side

I am currently reading the Well-Grounded Rubyist by David Black. It is a great book and reading it reminds me of things I was confused on when I started in Ruby. One of those things was the path Ruby uses to figure out which method to call when inheritance and mixins are in play.

As I read it last night, I thought I should post about it, so here it goes. Let’s start with a simple class.

Conferencia Rails 2009

The Spanish community Rails conference (aka Conferencia Rails) is so close! Last week we opened the register (what are you waiting for?), late than usual, but this year everything is a little bit more messy, because this year the conference is growing in a lot of aspects:

How do I learn Ruby & Rails?

This is a question I get quite a lot.

Where should I start? What should I do? What can I do to become a better Ruby/Rails developer etc.. (more common questions)

I wish there was a “simple/right” answer to these questions. Something like: “Read this book and you will become an awesome developer”.
Unfortunately, things are not that simple. We are all different and we learn differently, we also come from different backgrounds.
