Just a quick tip I recently came across:
If you want to see the docs for any of the gems installed on your dev machine, type the following in the command line…
gem_server
…and then browse over to http://localhost:8808/!
A little about me:
After gaining my BSc. in Computer Science from UMIST (Manchester, UK) in 2001, I worked as a Software Engineer in a job worthy of a Dilbert cartoon. Upon realising that there are more important things in life than working in a job I hated, I quit, and I now use my time to create businesses that can run themselves.

On my Rails 2 installation, this should read “gem server” (no underscore connecting the two words).
Not because of Rails, Andrew, they made that change in the newest version of Rubygems, so anyone who has it should leave out the underscore whether they use Rails or not.
