ruby-newbie-night - Melbourne Ruby User Group

The Inaugural Ruby Nuby Night was held at ThoughtWorks (thanks) on Thursday June 28 from 6:00 PM to roughly 9:00 PM.
?

The goal was to get people interested in Ruby and Rails by showing off the coolest things about it, and being up front about the problems too.

The format is a bunch of short talks: 5 minutes each, governed by a buzzer.?

Talks should show code. 3 minutes is time for one good example, so choose wisely.

Talks should show off stuff which is difficult or clunky in other languages and environments.

Remember that we're trying to show off Ruby, not teach people how to program in it!

This is an agile, distributed effort, just like the work of the Ruby community. :)

The talks planned were:

Some of the presentations were recorded and are available from

I've updated the Ruby Newbie Night page as Mark suggested, adding the link to my talk, which has links in it to the example code and other related resources, turning the page into a the past tense, and also adding the screencasts link. http://groups.google.com/group/melbourne-ruby/web/ruby-newbie-night
