Chapter 4 Crafting Rails 4 Applications

I am stuck just trying to run rails plugin new handlers

First of all there is a typo on page 64 There should NOT be a dash in between plug and in

I did a lot of rvm management and now I am getting a openssl error
$ dpkg -l | grep openssl

Dave suggested that I  check out:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/laruby-books/C1u-wZAYvHw
This didn't work

Cynthia suggested I install rvm

Block Procs Lambdas map&:(to_s) &:

How &: works? if it is a method, and where is it defined? > It is rails addition to ruby obviously. http://caboo.se/doc/classes/Symbol.html#M003931 Symbol#to_proc This is tricky thing to document. It exploits a ruby syntax quirk where prepending a & to a method argument calls "to_proc" on that object in an attempt to make it eligible to be a block. v.map(&:to_s) Is the same as: v.map { |i| i.to_s } https://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/154453 http://www.reactive.io/tips/2008/12/21/understanding-ruby-blocks-procs-and-lambdas/
