DSL interview

At RubyConf 2006, Zak Tamsen and I were interviewed by Obie Fernandez. In the months leading up to the conference I worked with both Obie and Zak on different projects where a DSL was used by the customer to specify the business rules of an application. Both projects were among the more interesting of my career. The interview discusses how we approached the problem and the successes that followed.

Ruby Evaluation options article on InfoQ

Yesterday, I published a fairly long article on InfoQ about Evaluation Options in Ruby. The article covers eval, instance_eval, class_eval and provides examples of using each of them.

Feedback welcome.
