Java is, of course, one place where this is a bit better. log4j and jUnit both tell you what they do quite easily. (But then again, Apache Maven does not.)
We have Google these days, and if that doesn't help you, go on the #ruby IRC channel and ask what they recommend.
- jshen 16y agoLucene, guice, solr, spring, hibernate, jmx, osi, nailgun, etc.
- crazydiamond 16y agoawk, grep, sed, perl, cat, finger, man, etc
- gloob 16y agoawk -> I forget what grep -> global/regular expression/print sed -> stream editor perl -> I'll give you this one cat -> concatenate finger -> I'll give you this one man -> manual A large percentage of them are mnemonics.
