   class A
     # A class method
     # could also be named `A.hello'
     def self.hello
       puts "Hello from A.hello"
     end

     # An instance method
     def hello
       puts "Hello from A#hello"
     end
   end

   class B < A
     hello  # -> Hello from A.hello

     # This method will be called each
     # time the class is instantiated
     def initialize
       hello  # -> Hello from A#hello
     end
   end

Class methods are usually referred to as ClassName.method_name, and 
instance methods as ClassName#method_name
