I broke up parts of the rationale page and combined them into other pages instead of adding them on the get started page
per Andre's requests:
Grouping - The section about "groups" should be merged with the page that is linked as "Grouping" in the sidebar.
| # the print method prints the following string; | |
| print "What is your name? " | |
| # the variable "name" is assigned the input received from | |
| # the user using the method "gets"; | |
| # "chomp" returns the cursor to a new line | |
| name = gets.chomp() | |
| # the print method prints the following string; |
| # the command require is requiring the library open-uri so we can use particular things from it | |
| require 'open-uri' | |
| # the method open is opening the url; | |
| # the method "do" will enact the defined method stated after f | |
| # to each of the lines that follow | |
| open("http://www.ruby-lang.org/en") do |f| | |
| f.each_line {|line| p line} | |
| puts f.base_uri # <URI::HTTP:0x40e6ef2 | |
| puts f.content_type # "text/html" |
I worked on some more improvements to the bundler.io site I combined 3 things onto a new page called workflow instead of doing a get-sarted page.
