Subject: Rails presentation

So I gave a presentation on Rails to the Utah Java Users Group last
night. It went very well, I think. There were three presentations--I
was sandwiched between JDO and Tapestry. :)

I've posted my presentation to my website, but there are a few
caveats:

  1) it is 14 megs in size (I made use of screen capture videos). So,
     be as kind to my host as possible. If anyone could mirror this,
     or set up a bittorrent for it, etc...

  2) it contains the presentation in both PDF and OOo formats.  Either
     way, you'll have to run the videos manually, because I'm sure the
     links in the OOo version will be broken by packaging it up.

  3) it is NOT a Rails tutorial--it was targeted at a roomful of Java
     developers, most of whom had never seen a line of Ruby code in
     their life. Thus, it is intended to demonstrate Rails' ease of
     use, and how well it can perform "in the wild."

That said, you can view the presentation online, here:

Or, feel free to download the whole thing and take a look:

Enjoy!
