OSCON tutorial: Ruby Guidebook

I went to the Ruby Guidebook tutorial by Dave Thomas and Mike Clark this morning. It was pretty dull. They just went through their slide deck, sometimes they would talk ahead of their slides. They did have a companion manual to use during the class. It was just a printout of their deck. I was really under-whelmed. Most of the information they gave us could be found in “Ruby in a Nutshell”. I was hoping for more insight into Ruby. What makes the language really tick. I’m at this weird, in-between place with Ruby. I know enough that the “intro to Ruby” courses are boring, but I don’t really know enough to make Ruby really sing yet.
