I’ll be giving a 60 to 90 minute presentation covering Ruby on Rails in  
the San  
Francisco bay area. Anyone interested in a quick introduction to Rails  
is  
welcome to come. The talk will be focused on Rails, but we’ll also  
field  
questions about how the rest of our site (Zvents) works. Here are the  
event  
details:

If you’re interested in attending, please RSVP to stas [khirman.com](http://khirman.com)  
and  
bring $5 to help cover pizza costs.

Maybe you can videotape the presentation and put it on the net, so a  
wider  
audience can enjoy?

I second that.  
All the videos to Rails I’ve seen so far always helped me improving my  
skills.

In case anyone is confused, the Zvents posting clarifies  
that the presentation is actually on the 25th (tonight).

It’s too bad that this was scheduled on top of my monthly  
Beer and Scripting SIG ([http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/bass](http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/bass)); I  
would have enjoyed attending. It’s quite ironic that,  
while folks in other locations are having trouble getting  
together at all, we’re actually having schedule conflicts!

I concur with the suggestions about videotaping. I also  
suspect that Bosco So would be very pleased to have this  
presentation offered to the SF Ruby Meetup  
([http://ruby.meetup.com/6](http://ruby.meetup.com/6)).

Okay… Don’t worry… Better luck next time! How did it go anyway?

Sorry guys, there was no time to arrange for video equipment on short  
notice. I’ll definitely keep it in mind if/when I do it again.

If the demo will be done on the computer is there some sort of tool to  
track the work being done on the laptop (similar to DHH’s first blog  
demo) without video ? Then all you would need to do is record audio.

just a thought.
