Abstract
In this chapter, you’ll learn how to create your own RubyGems. This can be useful for a variety of reasons: It gives you access to the gem-dependency system, it helps reusability between multiple programs, and more. For example, suppose you ran an ecommerce site that sold CDs, and the custom code you wrote to calculate shipping costs was used by several in-house programs; you could package the code as a gem, and then you could reuse it easily among the different programs.
