Newbie Qs on Filename convention

ruby-talk
1

Coming from a Java background, we are used to give filenames the same name
as the public class. In Ruby, is there a convention for giving filenames. A
HelloWorld program should be named Hello.rb or hello.rb ? I use the Windows
O/S.

Download the ruby source code

ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/ruby-1.8.4.tar.gz

Take a look in the lib directory to see how Matz names his .rb files.
