while the first link features only a simple example, the second goes a bit
more deeply into the possibilites of druby. the third link seems to be for
people who learn by codeinsight - i hardly can -> i’m not that familiar with
ruby.
isn’t there something like a list of all (or the most needed)
classes/functions with their purpose, parameters and returnvalues described?
Is that “code in sight” or “code insight”? Sorry about that being
inadequate, it is vey much a work in progress. I found {The Ruby
Deveoper’s Guide – Robert Feldt, Lyle Johnson, Michael Neumann,
published by Syngress ISBN 1-928994-64-4} a big help in
understanding that which I understand now. But I don’t really have
an understanding that I would call “deep” yet. (This is no
disrespect to the other documentors, whose work meets their intended
goals well). The examples in the drb sources, and the other
resources you mention also helped significantly.
My document aims to provide, when near completion, a better picture
of the relationships between the various classes than that which I
have found otherwise. Of course, RDoc is a big help here too.
Whether I reach that goal remains to be seen. In fact, this page is
basically my own notes about this, which I make available publicly.

That is more or less what I’m trying to build. If you have concrete
suggestions for improvements, or even better, patches :-), then I’m
willing to accept them. It is the semantic part, the purpose,
that is the hard part to document, but this is true for all code,
really, it is the essence of reading other people’s code.
I have also found Phil Tomson’s article in Dr.Dobb’s Journal (Sep. 2002) a
good introduction.
In fact I am planning to use his TaskMaster framework in my development
efforts.
Let me know if you cannot easily obtain a copy of this article and I will
try and fax/email/snail-mail
it to you.

it’s the second thing i think - i meant i’m not really good right now in
figuring out what a given ruby code means when it’s something complex -
which i think drb.rb is…

I will gladly work with you on this Hugh, and perhaps we need to set up a
Wiki for collaborative effort.
Let me know what you think.
