WhyRuby? was a project on RubyForge that I started to collect advocacy
material for Ruby, and consists mostly of presentations on Ruby and Rails.
There are lots of really good presentations in the repository, and if you
are putting together a presentation on Ruby or Rails you should definitely
take a look at what is available here.
However, as the Ruby community has grown so much over the past year, I felt
that the WhyRuby? repository wasn't getting much visibility. I'll bet that
some of you reading this are hearing about WhyRuby? for the very first time!
So, in the interest in giving this valuable resource a much needed boost in
continued visibility, I am happy to announce that James Britt has agreed to
host this collection of presentations on rubydoc.org <http://rubydoc.org>.
There is a link to the repository on the ruby-doc home page:
If you have a presentation on Ruby, Rails, or any other useful advocacy
materials, please consider sending them to ruby-doc for inclusion in the
repository. If you have bookmarks to WhyRuby?, please update them for their
new home (the old site will be going away).
Many thanks to those of you who have already contributed, and many thanks to
James Britt for agreeing to rehost this repository on ruby-doc.
Great Curt. One small suggestion. Can you put a <title>Why
Ruby?</title> on the page? This would make it play nicer in bookmarks
and esp. del.icio.us descriptions.

My problem is, that as far is i could google it up, this insanly big xml-file
is used by some apple-presentation-program that i do not own...
Is there someone out there who could convert this to something OpenOffice2 is
happy with?
Since it looks like a really good presentation, guessing only by viewing some
of the text in the xml and the pictures.
thx in pre

I'll do that; requests for page changes and such should go to me, rather than Curt.
It's my presentation. I gave it to the University of Central Oklahoma recently and I think it went well.
It is a Keynote file, as you've noticed. I let it in that format for all us Mac guys that want presentations too. I'll convert it to PowerPoint and post a link later. It doesn't translate perfectly, but it gets pretty close.

Any chance of a (stipped down?) PDF version? I don't have PP nor
Keynote.
The presentation is really good - i think i will put it on a simple webpage to
give newbies a really quick intro into ruby
so long...

OpenOffice (2) opens it perfectly (and should be able to convert it to pdf)

ok, after converting it to pdf, i thought html would be good as well
so you can find the presentation (sorry for the german titles and stuff) at http://manveru.net/whyrubysucks/
i will translate it maybe later, but navigating shouldn't be that much of a
problem to anybody.
