Hi,

I'm just reading the PDF and on pg 13 you flesh out the echo() method,
but the def doesn't include any parameters, in particular it should [I
think] be:

Def echo(url)

So the echo method as documented should fail, correct ?

Sorry for posting about my own article, but I'm interested in feedback,
recommendations for future topics, etc. IBM has just published an
article I wrote about doing test first development with Ruby:

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/edu/os-dw-os-ruby1-i.html

(sorry, you need to sign in (free account) to read it).

I've got an opportunity to do some more writing for them (how much more
depends on how well received/popular the articles are), and I'd love to
get some feedback from the community about what kinds of Ruby things I
should be sending their way.

In fact, you don't need the url parameter. But you're right there's an error in this example. You should read:

response = http.get("/service/echo?api_key=#{@key}")

instead of

response = http.get("/service/#{url}")

And in the test, you just need:

connection.echo()

instead of

connection.echo("/service/echo")
