Ruby is a purely object- oriented language

Know Thy Language!
Crazy People
None
Ruby is a VERY COMPLEX language!
class instance variable
protected
module_function vs extend self
refinements
super vs super()
== === equal? eql?
None
None
Grokking the language
Understanding and appreciating its philosophy
Coming to grips with reality
(no language is perfect)
(not even Clojure)
(some languages really suck)
Master the idioms
for i in 1..3 puts "Hello, Kiev!" end
3.times do puts "Hello, Kiev!" end
if some_condition then # body omitted end
def some_method # ... return result end
None

None
Read some (good) code
some == A LOT
None
Obtain a notion of style
A style guide • a curated set of (supposedly) good
practices • spares you the process of making trivial decisions • allows you to focus on the actual problems • simple and concise
None
Use the active voice.
My first visit to Kiev will always be remembered by
me. lame
I shall always remember my first visit to Kiev. legit
The word personally is often unnecessary.
Personally, I love RubyC.
Style guides aren’t a replacement for thinking
None
Write clearly -- don't be too clever.
def user_signed_in? !!@current_user end def user_signed_in? !@current_user.nil? end
Don't sacrifice clarity for small gains in efficiency.
i = 1 res = 0 while i <= 10
res += i i += 1 end
(1..10).reduce(:+)
(N * (N + 1)) / 2
(10 * (10 + 1)) / 2

puts debugging sucks

pro “puts” debugging techniques
object = Object.new puts object.method(:blank?).source_location # => ["/gems/ activesupport-5.0.0.beta1/lib/ active_support/core_ext/object/
blank.rb", 14]
class Bar def foo puts "=====================" puts caller end end
def foo puts method(:foo).super_method.source_location super end
def parse(input, skip_code_comments: false, ignore_whitespace: true) # do stuff end
method(:parse).parameters #=> [[:req, :input], [:key, :skip_code_comments], [:key, :ignore_whitespace]]
config.thing = { "foo" => "bar" } config.thing.freeze = {
"foo" => "bar" } config.thing.delete("foo") # active_support/concurrency/share_lock.rb:151:in `delete': can't modify frozen Hash (RuntimeError) # from active_support/concurrency/share_lock.rb:151:in `yield_shares' # from active_support/concurrency/share_lock.rb:79:in `block in stop_exclusive'
