Shades of Gray: Recent Articles

About the Author

James Edward Gray II joined the Ruby community in 2004 and they just haven't been able to get rid of him since then.

James writes Ruby code for fun and profit, pens books with a good deal of Ruby in them, gives speeches about the language, and runs the local support group for Ruby addicts. He definitely sees the world through Ruby-colored glasses.
