I can recommend reading up on your Ruby syntax. The pick axe book is an
good start. Its for sale in any bookshop but also on-line here:
http://www.rubycentral.com/book/.
"attr_reader" is a method that will generate an instance variable, and
a
reader (a.k.a. getter) for it in your class. The others also create
setters, etc.
Have fun,
Erik.
