Ruby introduction

[Carl Youngblood]

I'm planning on giving an introductory ruby tutorial at a Ruby users
group meeting this Saturday. I have a vague recollection of a pretty
good PDF floating around that someone was using to teach a 3-day Ruby
course or something like that. Does anyone remember that and where I
might find it, or does anyone have some other recommendation for a
good starting point? I'd like to get a head start rather than develop
my entire presentation from scratch.

Thanks,
Carl

Hey Carl, sorry I didn't see this earlier. Maybe you were thinking of:

http://ruby.brian-schroeder.de/course/

You'll find the pdf there. I highly recommend it.

BTW, I need to get that book from your in-laws still. I think I still
have their number somewhere...
