Build a gem the Steve Klabnik way! #71

This is a well-written, fun post on building a gem from scratch, from popular Rubyist Steve Klabnik. And I mean "from scratch"... he even guides you through an interesting approach to getting Ruby on your unix machine.

I heard about this on Peter Cooper's Ruby Weekly mailing list, which is required reading for Rubyists, though I find a lot more excitement happening on his JavaScript Weekly. :wink:

I came across this yesterday from Ruby Weekly as well! Seems to be a great skeleton tutorial for getting a gem out in the world. I wish this particular article had been around when I created my first gem.

I’m gonna piggyback on this and share a blog post I wrote today (made it to front page of HN!). I imagine it might be relevant/helpful to some of you: http://www.jasonswett.net/how-to-get-a-job-using-a-technology-you-dont-know/

Thanks, Bill! I'm trying to abstract out some common solutions in my Rails apps right now. Pretty new to gem creation and testing though, so anything helps.

I was wondering if we should make a "make a gem" challenge/tutorial in the Get Your Hands Dirty repo. We have a challenge that includes gemifying some code, but the subject could definitely use some dedicated attention, I think.
