At this point, you should probably read Programming Ruby (or a similar book) and get a good understanding of accessor methods. There's little or nothing Rails-specific in this discussion, and we are far enough toward the "Ruby basics" end of the spectrum that it will be a better use of everyone's time and brain power if you come back after you do a bit of reading.
