Based on experience, I suggest that presenters open up an IRB session and use actual Ruby code snippets to illustrate the concepts presented in this section of the presentation. I left out code examples, which makes a dry run through the slides an exercise in audience boredom and/or perplexment. -Obie
At this point, you should fire up some console windows and an editor and begin to write a Rails application. This will allow the audience to see the concepts realized and demonstrate the actual productivity of the platform. -Obie
