Hi there,
I'm giving an in-company presentation about a rather advanced project my team has been busy with over the last few months. Ruby has been chosen for one of the reference implementations. However, most of my collegaes are not familiar with Ruby.
So what I am looking for is a brief and concise "mini tutorial" or "quick start" for Ruby. One which I can distribute among the participants before the presentation, so they can get quickly aqainted with the language. So ideally, it shoudl be only a page of three,at most four, covering the essential aspects of Ruby.
Does anyone know if and where I can a tutorial like that?
Regards,
Iwan

Maybe its not necessary in this case, but I always want to think about what
the audience already knows. I guess, in this day and age, if they are all
programmers, they are all familiar with object oriented concepts? Do they
all program in some other (specific) language? If so, what is it (3 to 4
pages comparing that language to Ruby might be ideal.
