Hello all, I am doing a Rails presentation on Wednesday, April 13th at 6:30 pm in Portland, Oregon''s FreeGeek (http://freegeek.org/). This presentation is aimed for programmers who have little to no exposure to Rails, but will include more advanced topics like Ajax and Action Web Services for those already familiar with Rails. Anybody in the area is welcome to come by. I have been working on some slides for this presentation using my open-source presentation software (S5 Presents) based on Eric Meyer''s S5 at: http://s5presents.com/show/252 I would highly appreciate any feedback about these slides that this mailing list can provide. Thank you and I look forward to meeting some of you next week. -Lucas Carlson (cardmagic in IRC) http://www.rufy.com/

Do report back on how the whole thing went, and how you''d say Rails was received. -- johan PS. a suggestion; if you do have the options of recording either video or audio, don''t hesitate, there''s a wiki page[1] which could need some fresh content ;) [1]: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/RailsAcademy
Looks very cool, Lucas! Coincidentally, I will also be presenting Rails on that same day. The presentation will be in Finnish so this won''t help very many of you, but I''ve been promised that the presentation will be taped on DV. I hope I can publish the video afterwards. If someone in Finland is reading this and would like to participate, by all means do. The guest lecture will be at Tampere University of Technology, S-house, hall S3. The time is Wednesday, 13th April at 14.15-16. //jarkko On 6.4.2005, at 11:11, Johan Sörensen wrote:> On Apr 6, 2005 9:28 AM, Lucas Carlson <rails-1eRuzFDw/cg@public.gmane.org> wrote: >> http://s5presents.com/show/252 >> >> I would highly appreciate any feedback about these slides that this >> mailing list can provide.

Lucas, I made up this revised version of the Rails Overview a few days ago to try and capture some of the new developments in Rails 0.11.1. I am not sure how accurate this diagram is since I''m a newbie, but if you find it useful, then you can definitely include it in your presentation. http://dotsx.usc.edu/rails.png I welcome feedback from the list to improve my understanding of Rails.

1) I would love to use it in my presentation but the text is too small. 2) The web server (not the dispatcher) invokes FastCGI, mod_ruby or the CGI processor, which then loads the dispatcher, which then uses routes to find the controller. 3) ActionView also returns XML (namely RSS) 4) The database returns data as well as errors 5) ActiveRecord also does data validation and can have errors without even touching the database Hope this helps your understanding. I''d love to see an updated copy of the image. -Lucas http://www.rufy.com/ On Apr 6, 2005, at 2:11 AM, Robert Bousquet wrote:> Lucas, > > I made up this revised version of the Rails Overview a few days ago to > try and capture some of the new developments in Rails 0.11.1.

Very nice! I''ve got two presentations coming up in the next two months, and I''ll make use of this as well.
