A First Look at Ruby, by Jeremy McAnally
    Wednesday, March 14, 2007 - 2:00pm-3:15pm
Ruby''s popularity is growing day by day, but so are the questions
surrounding it: What''s so great about it? Why use Ruby? How do I use
Ruby? What can I use Ruby for? This session will attempt to answer
some of those, by not only teaching attendees how to use the Ruby
language, but also when and why.

Advancing Ruby: Hacking Java Language Tools in Ruby by Bob Evans
    Tuesday, March 13, 2007 - 2:00pm-3:15pm
This session will assume that the user has at least a minimal
knowledge of Ruby and a medium Java knowledge, though the techniques
will be apparent regardless. This session explores building custom
Java bytecode analysis tools using Ruby and the Java Virtual Machine
Specification and how Ruby makes it a joy. We''ll look at the various
features of Ruby that make it good for language hacking from the
looser syntax, to blocks and then to some meta-programming to reduce
tedium. We''ll also see how easy it is to test your code in Ruby. After
this session, developers should have a good sense of some of the
unique strengths of Ruby and how some of it''s advanced features can be
applied easily and practically.
