Eigenclass has a guide outline for teaching yourself the "basics" of
Ruby at http://eigenclass.org/hiki.rb?ruby+internals+guide. Also just
googling today I found this presentation http://mtnwestrubyconf2008.confreaks.com/11farley.html
from MontainWest Ruby last year, which really makes Ruby's internal
handling of class hierarchies and method dispatching clear.
