Steven WrightIt seemed a little vague. I really didn't care about his background. Once he got into the material, the pedagogical style did not work for me. What would have worked for me was a "real live demo" of him creating the "toy" application, explaining the necessary steps as we encountered them. Though, may view is colored by the fact that I don't know Rudy at all; which I am not sure is relevant to what he taught or not. (just putting it out there).

Awesome talk. A little too self-indulgent in the introduction, but very informative, with live code demos and clear, focused presentation.

Is there any chance that this will be recorded and uploaded to the web for those of us who cannot attend? All of these events seem to be held on Tuesdays, which is unfortunately the same day that Ruby class is held at Noisebridge :(
