I might suggest taking the time to actually sit down and really learn  
Ruby. At the risk of sounding rude -- spending the day asking the  
mailing list questions about the language syntax without trying to  
learn the language and actually program with it is just a waste of  
everyone's time (including your own).

You said you are working off the 1st ed. of the Pickaxe, I'd  
definitely recommend getting a copy of the second edition. Beyond  
that, you're only going to get a good feel for the language if you  
actually _use_ the language and experiment with it.

I don't intend to put you off or make you feel unwelcome here, I just  
think you are selling yourself and the language short by thinking it  
is enough to simply understand the parsing grammar without  
understanding the semantics.
