speak at RubyConf

Fret Fret Fret… all over with and damn successful.

I got multiple applause throughout the talk for the things I showed and probably just as much how I showed them, as I had pre-recorded movies that were really smooth, to the point, and relatively error free.

I’ve since been showered with compliments and questions about my talk and am feeling more than a bit overwhelmed, awed, and grateful.

I decided that breadth first is the way to go. I’ll lose the newbs all at once and they can enjoy their slumber. Those that can stick it out will be able to do so for as long as they want.

I’ve gotten my first rough draft done, and a finalized schedule. I have 2 more draft milestones + 5 weeks of coding to do.

I wrote up an outline of my presentation for rubyconf2005, both in depth first and breadth first order. The audience is a bit of an unknown this year (no thanks to rails), so I’m not sure which type of talk would work best. This way, I’ll have both sets made and I can even let the audience choose!

I’m now making slides for them!

As drbrain mentioned below, both of our talks were accepted for rubyconf 2005. Now… to get writing.
