Subject: Ruby quick reference arranged in ASCII sequence?

As a ruby beginner, I would be grateful for any links to a ruby
reference that is arranged in ASCII sequence.

I've seen many good tutorials that will teach me ruby from beginning to
end. But I'm a weekend (or month-end) programmer who wants to learn a
language just to do bits and pieces for myself. I don't want to read 600
pages to find out what "?" is used for.

I look online for a piece of code that will already do 75% of what I'm
looking for - and then modify it. (I think this is called "not
re-inventing the wheel", AKA "re-usable code).

For example, I wanted a piece of code that would read and write CSV
files. I found a good link. Within this link, there is the following
line:

last_name.length==0 ? printf(",") : printf("\"%s\",", last_name)

For this line, I would like to find a reference that explains the
following items in ASCII sequence:

?
==
%s
:
\
printf

Probably all of these items would be explained in a good tutorial, but
it might take hours to find them.
