From: "Xavier R." Date: 2013-02-22T05:09:52+09:00 Subject: Class method's has a fuzzy meaning and a sharp meaning David A. Black in his book - "The Well-Grounded Rubyist" "So class method has a fuzzy meaning and a sharp meaning. Fuzzily, any method that gets called directly on a Class object is a class method. Sharply, a class method is defined, not just called, directly on a Class object. You’ll hear it used both ways, and as long as you’re aware of the underlying engineering and can make the sharp distinctions when you need to, you’ll be fine." As a beginner couldn't take the concept at all. So anyone out there - could you help me the above with some examples? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
