+# Safe Navigation Operator
+
+With the release of Ruby 2.3, the *safe navigation operator* (`&.`) is now
+available. This addition to the Ruby language allows you to collapse all
+those pesky `nil` checks into the accessor call they are guarding. Consider
+this snippet of common Ruby code:
+
+```ruby
+if user && user.authenticate(params[:password])
+  # proceed with logged in user
+end
+```
+
+With the *safe navigation operator*, the predicate can now be collapsed:
+
+```ruby
+if user&.authenticate(params[:password])
+  # proceed with logged in user
+end
+```
+
+If `user` is `nil`, then the predicate will evaluate to `false` and the body
+of the if-statement will be passed over.
