Speaking of Ruby presentations

[Sascha Ebach]

Hi,

Speaking of being able to use Ruby for a primary development language
and making the point to "management". I quote:

"Instead of saying that you want to use Ruby, just _use_ Ruby and show
them something cool with it" Time index 01:24:51

David Heinemeier Hansson's talk on "Ruby on Rails" is downloadable from
http://akira.ruc.dk/~castle/rubyonrails.mov and it is well worth the
watch. He makes a very good business case for using Ruby in a web
environment.

This file should definately be included on the Why Ruby? project.

Yes, that was a really good speach David held.
I brought one of my non-ruby friends (Thomas Gielfeldt) to the speach, and he
said that it reminded him of websphere, except that Rails is just a lot
easier to use.

The second hour of the speach is what will wake other peoples attention.

We need lots more of such striking speaches...
