I have been finding more and more that things which are obvious to some are not necessarily obvious to others. Not everyone is a guru in every skill and everyone has to start as a newbie with all new skill you learn.
What about for people who are not working with Ruby but are curious about how it compares? How about those who have just started working with Ruby and are just learning? Think back to the first time you started reading about Ruby, was all the info you ever wanted freely available and clearly laid out? I am betting no.
This is why these days whenever I learn anything new (or think of something I know really well), as soon as i get it straight in my own head I go and write it up. It helps me clarify it even further for myself plus, since the information is out there it may end up helping others who are learning about the same topics.
