Ruby Libraries Important for Rails

Talkat RailsConf 2013 · 2013-04-29..05-02· [ruby-on-rails, ruby]

Covers learning the Ruby standard library by doing actual experiments not platitudes. Uses IRB live coding, RubyDoc and Sublime Text to discover surprising behaviors like Array.new(3) producing [nil,nil,nil], Array.new(2, obj) sharing the object, multiplication and join aliases, and that map lives in Enumerable. Builds small RSpec examples that become RSpec executable documentation, runs them green with --format documentation, and then breaks into a hands‑on workshop to dig deeper.
