Hugo Estrada's House of Wonder

Tonight was the night that I was going to learn about closure. So I read the wiki entry on the concept. Not the best entry in wikipedia. It happened that the book that I am reading on Ruby had a small chapter on the same subject. A lot better. Then I did some more searches online for it.

I found this nice series of posts on closure, using javascript as an example:

Closure

And I am going to stick to this explanation. (Thanks, kartikbansal!)

I have been on situations like this before. I don't know if the problem understanding the concept is that it is so self-evident to me that I don't see what there is to "get" or whether I truly don't know what it is about. And I am going to stick to my idea that I just get it :P
