Working with Ruby
Hi, I am Jan. This is my old Ruby blog. I still post about Ruby, but I now do it on idiosyncratic-ruby.com. You should also install Irbtools to improve your IRB.

ActiveSupport 4 by Example: Numeric#to_s

The NumberHelper functionality is now available as Numeric#to_s

To try it out, do

git clone https://github.com/rails/rails
cd rails/activesupport
rvm gemset use rails4 --create
rake gem
gem install pkg/activesupport-4.0.0.beta
