A Primer on Ruby Method Lookup

Method lookup is a simple affair in most languages without multiple inheritance. You start from the receiver and move up the ancestors chain until you locate the method. Because Ruby allows you to mix in modules and extend singleton classes at runtime, this is an entirely different affair.

I will not build contrived code to exemplify the more complicated aspects of Ruby method lookup, as this will only serve to confuse the matter.

When you pass a message to an object, here is how Ruby finds what method to call:

When hiring Ruby on Rails programmers, knowing the right questions to ask during an interview was a real challenge for me at first. In 30 minutes or less, it's difficult to get a solid read on a candidate's skill set without looking at code they've previously written. And in the corporate/enterprise world, I often don't have access to their previous work.

To ensure we hired competent ruby developers at my last job, I created a list of 15 ruby questions -- a ruby measuring stick if you will -- to select the cream of the crop that walked through our doors.

What to expect

Candidates will typically give you a range of responses based on their experience and personality. So it's up to you to decide the correctness of their answer.
