Today’s programming tips and tricks come in the form of a slideshow presentation created by James Edward Gray II for his role as a speaker in the Aloha Ruby Conference held in Honolulu on October 2012. His talk featured a collection of various Ruby
capabilities that programmers either tend to overlook or are completely unaware of, hence the title of his talk, 10 Things You Didn’t Know Ruby Could Do.

Each trick in the presentation is explained in great detail complete with samples and snippets. The presentation also covers a range of subtopics which include compiler tricks, syntax, data structures and iterations to name a few.

Actually, the further down you get into the detail, the more tricks you find, which is why instead of just 10, you end up with about a hundred tricks (as you’ll find out for yourself as go through each slide).

So without further ado, enjoy the slideshow below:
