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.

Box 3.1. Undoing things Even when you’re very careful, things can sometimes go wrong when developing Rails applications. Happily, Rails has some facilities to help you recover.

One common scenario is wanting to undo code generation—for example, when you change your mind on the name of a controller and want to eliminate the generated files. Because Rails creates a substantial number of auxiliary files along with the controller (as seen in Listing 3.6), this isn’t as easy as removing the controller file itself; undoing the generation means removing not only the principal generated file, but all the ancillary files as well. (In fact, as we saw in Section 2.2 and Section 2.3, rails generate can make automatic edits to the routes.rb file, which we also want to undo automatically.) In Rails, this can be accomplished with rails destroy followed by the name of the generated element. In particular, these two commands cancel each other out:
