Subject: [ruby-talk:15510] ruby methods and attributes

Hello,

I'm just working on learning ruby, and was trying to write a simple
chatserver, but I guess I'm not understanding how the interpreter tells the
difference between methods and attributes.  I have an array full of users,
each one of which has the socket they're connected on as an attribute.  When
I try and do something simple like "puts users.last.socket" to check and see
if the socket was assigned properly, it complains that there's no such
method as socket - I was expecting it to print the socket property.  I may
just be missing something obvious here, this is how I did it in python.  Any
help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
David
