Ruby and Rails developers integrating Twitter into their applications can now free themselves from writing boiler plate REST client code and concentrate on developing features with Twitter4R v0.2.0: the open source Ruby library with 100% Twitter REST API coverage. Version 0.2.0 contains significant improvements over its predecessor 0.1.1 by providing full coverage of the officially documented Twitter4R REST APIs as well as a couple of unofficial features mentioned by Twitter developers on the mailing list in passing.

To get started visit the v0.2.0 release announcement for pointers to more detailed tutorial articles relating to the various parts of the API (e.g. configuration, timeline, status, messaging, user, model, etc.).

The first thing to do is sudo gem install twitter4r to download the Twitter4R Ruby Gem, then follow links from the above mentioned announcement to the relevant tutorials or RDoc.
