Ruby Quicktips

Submit a Ruby or Rails Quicktip

Before submitting, please do a quick search on this site, to check if a tip similar to yours has already been published.

As a general rule: every Ruby or Rails related tip that has not yet been published is a good tip!
Ruby Quicktips is meant to collect tips for beginners and pros equally, so don’t hesitate to submit a trivial tip or one that is more for developers with years of experience.

Hints for getting published more quickly
Have a look at how tips are generally written on this site. The closer you get with your text to existing tips (style-wise), the quicker it will be published.
Here are a few tips to achieve that:

• Wrap you code snippets in <pre><code></code></pre> tags (you can use the ‘HTML’ button on the editor below to paste raw HTML or edit it.)
• Provide links to the place in the official API for the method/functionality you describe.
  And feel free to provide links to more comprehensive websites/blogpposts on the topic of your tip.
• Be concise.

Feel free to provide a link to your own site/blog, if you want me to link to it in the credits.

Tagging (optional):

• If your tip mentions a Ruby method, only tick the ‘ruby’ tag.
• If your tip mentions a method that’s only available in Rails, tick the ‘rubyonrails’ tag.
• If you mention both a method that’s standard Ruby and also a method that’s only available to Rails users, tick both ‘ruby’ and ‘rubyonrails’.

And now: happy tip submitting!
Your support is highly appreciated.

You can also submit your tips via e-mail. Just send them to rubyquicktips@tumblr.com.
