I was confused too. So I read this post ... http://www.railstips.org/blog/archives/2009/05/11/class-and-instance-methods-in-ruby/

Since the author said it very well, I am not going to repeat it.

I went through Ruby foundation myself a while ago. I needed a lot of outside help to ace Ruby. I recommend rubymonk.com. If you go through all the primers' lessons, everything will become clear.
