From: Frank Meyer Date: 2007-08-13T23:35:36+09:00 Subject: attr_read, attr_writer, etc. Hello, are these keywords or are they methods which create get/set methods for the given attribute? I suppose it's a mix of both, because I tried to write my own attr_accessor but I couldn't call it in the class definition, only on an existing object.
