These forums are reserved for asking questions and receiving help. Unless you actually have a question, you may want to actually create a tutorial and submit it for consideration in the Ruby tutorial forum. This post really serves no purpose since you don't even really provide any notes other than some topic headings.

Edit: I see you have now supplied a pdf. Thanks.

Nice PDF.

Just a note: it's idiomatic to name variables and methods with underscores, not in CamelCase. The latter is used in naming classes.

Also in Ruby "return" is not widely used, as the last value is returned implicitly.

As I glimpsed the pdf, I would say that there are many mistakes, based on not understanding Ruby, like "there are some methods can be applied to integers".

This is typical mistake by programmers comming to Ruby: using other languages idioms in Ruby like naming stuff, thinking about OOP, method invocation, etc.

To the author: good effort, but I recommend reading some good book, like "The Well-Grounded Rubyist"
