Well, we hold this once-a-month workshop at work to share knowledge
about various tools and methods we use and we usually have three hours
for a subject.
Since me and a couple of my colleagues have used Ruby extensively to the
benefit of our projects there is a growing interest about the language (
nothing like good, clean, working code that helps make the deadlines
when you want to attract attention ).
Now, I know that you canât teach someone Ruby in three hours, but the
audience is high calibre, experienced professionals with very good
theoretical and practical backgrounds, so we only need to provide a
highspeed hands-on tour of Ruby and let nature take itâs course (anyone
ever thought that Ruby pulls programmers minds like a black hole pulls
matter? The closer you get the harder it gets to get away. And you need
to be very far away to have any hope of escaping 
)
So Iâll stop rumbling and get to the question:
Anyone has some introductory hands-on material or any pointers on how we
could put together a three hour Ruby workshop?
I canât help but think that someone from those .rb teams out there has
already thought something up.
And before someone points me to the Quizes, yes I thought about them,
although I havenât yet found one that can serve as a good introductory
workshop example.
Cheers,

Niaghhhhh, I get the urge to strangle DHH sometimes :).
As much as I like Rails I havenât written a single line of Ruby code
using it (and I scored a decent 47 with the ruby score script
donât feel good about the latest trend of sticking with Rails examples
whenever introducing Ruby.
Notice: the above presentation might just as well be a presentation
about Rails (it looks like that anyway). Itâs just that lately I find
myself having to explain that Ruby is a lot more than Rails and hence
the urge to strangle DHH :).
That said, if I decided using the slides Iâd take the first 16 and use
Rake or Rant for a DSL example since that applies more to my line of
work :).

I just come over this thread an had a look at the slides. Could someboy
tell me which software was used to create these slides?

Wasnât any identifier in the code, so perhaps itâs a custom job â but
those really are nice looking slides.
perhaps magickpoint or ooffice.

I suppose it could have been build using S5
(S5: A Simple Standards-Based Slide Show System).
Great! Thatâs the link of the day! I was looking for this kind of
presentation tool for quite some time.
Thanks!
Cheers,
