Repository for Ruby presentations (was: [OT]Is Ruby Top 1 of Programming Languages that are Loved?)

this makes me think - there is a lot of presentaion material out there
praising ruby (matz’s slides, pragmatic programmer stuff, personal
presentations). what about pooling resources and putting together
something
really slick and professional and putting it up on ruby-lang for
people to
use? postgresql is attempting to do this… seems like a good idea.
if only
we could distill _why’s book… :wink:

Oh please yes! I am actually giving a presentation on Ruby to my
department next week. I am currently working on it, and hope to post it
to RubyGarden when it’s done (assuming I can attach files, no other
place to host it :(.

Currently, it’s a rehash of slides by matz about the language desing
(taken shamelessly from http://www.rubyist.net/~matz/slides/). They
mostly concentrate on the background and design of the language (i.e.
how the language was designed to be easy on the brain and fun to work
with). I’ll use as much as I can get away with, and fill up stuff on
“actual features” of the language from what I know.

I’ll gladly share / steal from anyone who has done a better job.

I’m setting something up for this tonight, and your contribution would be
welcome. Stay tuned.
