The other convention I think is important here is that your "getters" do not start with "get" like they do in Java. You generally just put the attribute name. Because Ruby doesn't require parentheses after methods, you can just say "player.full_name" instead of "player.getFullName()" like you would in Java. It's a more concise and clear grammar. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
