• March 2011, Ruby fundamentals: each/collect/select/detect/merge

  I chose this presentation from a slide in February's presentation by Jeff Casimir.  He mentioned becoming familiar/expert on the powerful Ruby array/hash operators (each, collect/map, select, detect, merge).I thought that would be a great Rails meetup talk.
