From: Rick DeNatale Date: 2007-03-17T21:48:49+09:00 Subject: Variable confusion for newbies I've noticed a quite a few postings here of late by ruby newbies asking questions about the relationship between variables and objects. I wrote a post to my blog some months back which might help clear up some of the confusion. http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/articles/2006/09/13/on-variables-values-and-objects In any event, I hope that it doesn't confuse folks further. -- Rick DeNatale My blog on Ruby http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/
