I introduced an OO pseudolanguage in lecture 8 in my SW Eng course last 
year to show an example of a design pattern in practice. In the last 
slide I revealed that it wasn't pseudocode but real (Ruby) code. I then 
executed the code "live", made some changes and added an observer etc. 
It worked out quite well and maybe the slides may be of some use:

the source code and some more info is available on the page

http://datavet.htu.se/kurser/PVD010/lecture_slides.html

it was lecture number 8 a bit down on the page.

For a later verification and validation course I introduced Ruby in the 
first week and used it throughout the course. I started a "book" called 
"Ruby by Example" but it didn't pan out very well so it was never 
continued. Anyway it might be of some interest:
