ruby actually has two syntaxes for blocks:

1)

['hello', 'world', 'goodbye'].each {|word| puts word.upcase}

2)

['hello', 'world', 'goodbye'].each do |word|
  puts word.upcase
end

The general practice is: use parentheses for one liners, and do-end for 
multi line blocks.

There is actually one slight difference in effect between the two 
syntaxes, but it is not worth mentioning at this point.
