Subject: Re: Good Ruby Examples?

I'm not sure what level your students are, but a demo of drivting
Internet Explorer with the Watir project code
(http://wtr.rubyforge.org) is colorful and fun.  Advanced students can
investigate the Watir libraries and discuss Domain Specific Languages;
less advanced students can investigate the Watir unit tests and
examples quite easily.   For instance, the code below is from the Watir
distribution and tests Google Maps:

require 'watir'
include Watir
require 'test/unit'

class TC_google_maps < Test::Unit::TestCase

    def test_google_maps

        testSite = "http://maps.google.com"
        ie = IE.new
        ie.goto(testSite)
        ie.text_field(:id,"q").set("Durango,CO")
        ie.button(:index, 1).click

        matchlat = '37.275278'
        matchlong = '-107.879444'

            assert_match(matchlat,ie.frame("vp").html.to_s)
            assert_match(matchlong,ie.frame("vp").html.to_s)
    end
end
