You show this for private methods: self.do_stuff #Allowed do_stuff #Not allowed But it's really the other way around: self.do_stuff # Not Allowed do_stuff # allowed You got the comments about private methods backward. You show this for private methods:

self.do_stuff #Allowed
do_stuff #Not allowed

But it’s really the other way around:

self.do_stuff # Not Allowed
do_stuff # allowed

Will resolve it asap. And for the record, I'm an IE, Firefox and Safari user - I'll grab Opera and see what the problem with posting is (which version by the way?).

There are some loose ends from this part I'm going to be covering in part two (more on methods and classes) so I'll be talking about typing in part three. Let me know if there is anything in particular you'd like to see covered. Thanks all – keep the feedback coming.

Clarification on CamelCase versus under_score: under_scores are used in all identifiers (methods, variables etc) *except* class names and module names in which case CamelCase should be used. (These identifiers must start with upper case letters as constants in Ruby are indicated using first letter upper case. Modules and classes are just object like everything else in Ruby, and these objects are bound to constants.) Great article.
