I love Ruby. I first learned about it on the Internet several months ago and decided I wanted to give it a try. I was intrigued by the kind of buzz around it. I felt that the Ruby crowd was smaller than the PHP, C# or even python crowd, but those who liked Ruby seemed to like it A LOT.

Even if you’re not new to ruby, the concept of ducktyping might evokes something vague and unclear to you. I personally had to re-read the dedicated section of my ruby book a couple of times before I finally grasped the concept.

What is a code block anyway? Well, a code block is a chunk of code… that’s all there is to say about it. I know, this part is not really interesting. What IS interesting though, is that you can pass a block to a ruby function and then have this function call the block whenever it wants.
