In my previous post I was speaking more to the naming conventions used in Ruby. Variable names are lowercase_understored and constants are UPPER_CASE_UNDERSCORED. The mechanics of Ruby don't enforce this convention, outside of presenting a warning when "constants" (any variable name starting with an uppercase letter) are changed after initialization. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
