I gave this O’Reilly webcast on Ruby, its standard library, and Ruby Gems on January 26. It’s a lightning tour of the Ruby language, its core classes, its standard library, and third party Ruby gems like Rails and Sinatra. If you’re on the fence about learning Ruby, this will give you an idea of what the language can do for you!

Sorry about the signup form (not my idea). Just fill it out with any old data (but a real e-mail address) and you’ll immediately get a link to view the recorded webcast via e-mail.
