hey all,
i need to create a good & attractive Rails-2.1.1 Demo presentation(with
the full working flow)
what are the main features should be concluded in presentation ?
That depends entirely on who the audience is…
If you’re trying to convince someone to adopt RoR for development, the
most powerful arguments I’ve done are to show an existing app with some
substance, then show how RoR makes life easier for the devs, faster
turn-around for the clients, functionality versus lines of code (that
convention over configuration argument). Show 'em a development
environment, tweak the app in front of them. That’s probably what
they’ll appreciate, and where they’ll see value.
If you’re trying to convince potential clients, scaffold something in
their domain (and pretty it up) to get their attention. Make it relevant
to them, regardless of what your last whiz-bang project was. My own
experience is that people in general like concrete examples that they
understand, you want the technology to be new, not the domain: “I make
custom furniture, why are you showing me an auto parts catalog?” (you
just have to make sure you understand at least some portion of their
domain space as well so as not to look the fool).

They are also developers & new to ROR
but they are strong java developers for past five years
at which features i should take good concentration ?

Umm… what is it that YOU like the most about RoR? Those would be the
easiest points for you to speak about, and work up an example to
showcase.
I like Ruby, I like the MVC and how it is ingrained into Rails. I’m a
huge fan of haml for the views. The combination of these things just
sings (for me at least). I like being able to easily leverage other
people’s Gems into my application. The Rails community is another big
plus in my book, and to say nothing of “Fred” would be a horrible
omission.
