In this video we are going to discuss callbacks to observe method changes as well as differences between removing and undefining methods. The next mystery of Ruby is going to be revealed!

This is the third video of the Ruby Metaprogramming Revealed series. Learn more about Ruby metaprogramming by viewing the rest.

If you’ve written some JS, you’re probably familiar with callbacks and DOM events. And though we have callbacks in PHP, they don’t work in quite the same way. That’s thanks to a feature called the event loop.
