Noob Question: New to Programming

[Eric Raio]

Hey I am very new to ruby I am trying to learn as much as I can, I was
looking at this repository and I am curious what this method actually
means.

def self.create_new(params={})

Could someone break it down to me I apologize I am new I do not
understand what the "self.create" means


Thanks
Eric

Next, you gotta walk before you can run. Print out any of the excellent Ruby
books and curl up with it! Reciting them ain't the best use for this newsgroup.
If I told you "define a class method, not instance method, that can call with
nothing or with an option-hash", then we would get mired in recursive definitions...
