Subject: Curriculum for Teaching Ruby to C++ Professionals

Hi Rubyists,

I'm a game programmer by profession.  I'm setting up a little "Learn  
Ruby" course for the rest of the programmers at work.  Ruby may be  
useful for internal tools for us, but it's not embeddable because of  
the GPL.  That's not really important though, because I've *mostly*  
pitched Ruby as "just being fun" for awhile now, and figure it's  
finally time to share.

So, I'm seeking advice on how to approach my presentation.

     Duration: 90 minutes max
     Audience: bright C/C++ programmers, many with Python experience
     Goal: Teach the language rapidly, and Bedazzle

Please chime in with your thoughts.

Thanks,
Steve
