			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This past Friday I participated in my first presentation, <a href="http://blogs.missiondata.com/?page_id=30">Seeing Ruby: An Introduction to the Ruby Programming Language</a> at the <a href="http://www.theitrc.com/">iTRC</a> in Louisville, Kentucky. Chuck Fouts, <a href="http://blogs.missiondata.com/?author=2">Steven Yelton</a>, and <a href="http://blogs.missiondata.com/?author=3">I</a> did our level best to introduce our audience to one of our favorite development tools. Our audience was fantastic, and had lots of questions. Everyone stayed a good 15 minutes after the official end to finish Steven&#8217;s awesome Rails demo.</p>
<p>Honestly, Ruby sells itself though. People tend to sit up and notice blocks and open classes.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll be posting the presentation slides very soon to the <a href="http://blogs.missiondata.com/?page_id=30">permanent page</a>. And as we take the show to other venues we&#8217;ll be tweaking and refining the content. Initial feedback is to beef up the handout with a cheatsheet of language features; our whirlwind tour of the language goes by quickly and some sort of reference will help keep everything together.</p>
<p>Our audience expressed great interest in <a href="http://www.rubyonrails.org/">Ruby on Rails</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_%28programming%29">AJAX</a>, even a few requests for some Seeing More Ruby classes. We&#8217;re debating on whether &#8220;You&#8217;ll Be Seeing AJAX&#8221; or &#8220;You&#8217;ll Be Seeing Rails&#8221; next. :) Let us know which you&#8217;d rather see.</p>
<p>Incidentally, we&#8217;re also taking this presentation to a company for a private show, and we&#8217;d be willing to come talk with you and your colleagues as well. Just <a href="http://www.missiondata.com/contact.shtml">contact us</a>!</p>
