Subject: Class vs. Object

I'm new to Ruby, and relatively new to OOP (1.5 years of Java -- but 
nothing too serious.  I didn't really bother to try and understand it 
deeply).

I'm trying to grok the difference between a class and an object.  My 
understanding of an object is that it is a thing, and that a class is 
the description of said thing's behavior.  Is this correct?

Lastly, programmatically, what is the difference between a Ruby object 
and class?

Thank you,

James H.
