Abstract

This chapter is a tightrope walk between oversimplification and a degree of detail that is unnecessary for a Rails newbie. After all, the objective is not to become a Ruby guru but to understand Ruby on Rails. I will elaborate on the most important points, and the rest is then up to you. If you would like to know more about Ruby, I recommend the book The Ruby Programming Language by David Flanagan and Yukihiro Matsumoto.
