Hi there, I'm writing a class to encapsulate a 'job'. The job will have variables such as name, id, resources, dependencies etc and some of these will be common across all instances. I'd like to be able to set these common variables once and not have to repeat it for every instance. What's the best way of accomplishing this? So far I've seen a lot of articles that steer you towards using class instance variables instead of class variables but I can't find examples of how to use these from within an instance. Is that possible? Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
