I'm kinda new to ruby , and was wondering about the following stuff , assume the following code : Shoes.app { button("Press Me") { alert("You pressed me") } } how could I write code like that , so that when I call a method like button , I don't have to put an object or a class name in front of it . To give another example , let's assume the following code : class Whatever attr_accessor :value def initialize yield self end def some_method puts "some method" end end I would like to do the following ( if it's possible ) : w = Whatever.new do |whatever| some_method value = 20 end puts w.value # this should output 20 Is this possible , without adding those methods to Object ? Thank you very much! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
