Hi Rubyists,
As I accumulate and modify more and more ruby codes,
I find it useful to stretch my learning curve by adding
'rake' on to my menu.
What is rake ?
Rake is like 'make' and 'ant'; they are all DSL (Domain Specific Language).
But it is unlike 'make' as 'make' is an external DSL that uses custom
syntax.
It is also unlike 'ant' as 'ant' is an external DSL that uses XML based
syntax.
Rake (has Rakefile.rb) is an internal DSL using Ruby. I started with
this rake tutorial:

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the link.
When I was looking at this, I also came across Martin Fowler's page on
rake and DSL's which made for good reading too.
