Subject: Short Presentation on Ruby

Dear All,

I will be doing a short presentation on the ruby language for the 
Computer Society at Durham University. 

This talk is aimed at people who are not professional programmers for the 
most part, and will most likely have some experience with perl. A few 
people may have experience with python also. For this reason, the talk 
isn't going to be in much depth.

I am thinking that my talk will briefly highlight what ruby is, why you 
may choose to use it as appose to PHP/perl/python/java; and I expect a 
little about mod_ruby, eruby, etc. (web applications)

My question is, do you think I should broach any other aspect of ruby 
during this talk? Is there one thing about ruby that you would think is 
important enough to mention in a light, perhaps 10 minute long talk?

Thank you,
