Ruby Object Model

Dave Thomas's Lecture at Scotland on Rails 2009

• Classes in Ruby are simply objects which hold tables of methods
• IF it can't find a method call, it jumps to the parent
• IF it gets to the top & doesn't find a method call, it goes back to the bottom & looks for a method called methodmissing
• "Singleton Class" - a class any object has as soon as you add a method to it, it's invisible
