Hi,
are there some good tutorials or references about design patterns in ruby, which talk about mixins etc? I would really appreciate one because ruby is quite different from other languages (and more flexible) concerning oop.
I found a lot of modules using nested submodules like ClassMethods and InstanceMethods. Is there a kind of ruby standard for such things?

I really enjoyed this book on the subject:

I really enjoyed this book on the subject:
+1 for this book (and I agree with the blog review). A great read and quite different approach to most other books on Ruby.
The only time I found myself disagreeing with the book's author was regarding the suggested solution on to how to test the Singleton pattern.
Best regards,
Jari Williamsson
Yeah, the book is okay, but it doesn't have all the patterns of the GOF book, and some of the Ruby is really irksome... and sometimes it's just wrong!

It's a great book. I bought it and read it in about two days.

Can you point out which pattern in the book is wrong with Ruby? I never
read the GOF book. This is the first Design Pattern book I read, I
really want to know which pattern seems wrong. For me, everything look
nice and it is a good book for me.

Sorry if I didn't make that clear. I linked to my review in the hope that it would provide more detail about what was in the book.

From the horse's mouth...
I'm going out to buy it today, so I hope it isn't as bad as Julian
suggests. I don't have a problem if some of the code doesn't work
perfectly, since I distrust most of the code I look at anyway

I bought this book about a week ago and absolutely love it. I have the original GoF book, but this is a fantastic companion to it. Russ' writing style is very informal which I like. I have found it very easy to understand his text and examples.
I haven't found any obvious design problems with his code. I would point out that his example of the Strategy Pattern is a bit lacking. Oftentimes the strategy will either get a large set of parameters handed to it in the initializer/constructor OR it will pass a copy of :self. (Obviously passing :self leads to a lot of tight coupling between the objects; that detail is also left out of the discussion too.) He only covered the former case where parameters are passed to the strategy. This is a minor oversight in my opinion.
I recommend this book.

I also enjoyed the book, I've reviewed it too, I also interviewed
Russ and talked a bit about it:
