Ruby is a great language. Rubyist should definitely not ignore some even more elegant languages like Smalltalk and LISP.
Great presentation. Any chance slides would be available for download?
I liked the presentation.
I would love to watch this, but with low bandwidth the buffering every ~5 secs is killing me...and would take WAY too long to get through it...I would love to be able to download it...any thoughts?
Here's a textual summary =)

thanks for the link!....though I still would love to see the full video
Perl has had a regexp object since 5.6 was released in 2000. I don't know of any operating systems that still ship with an older version. The speaker should have done his homework on this before spending what seemed like five minutes larking about how this feature was lacking.
We've had this seven years now. Please catch up.
Ruby is certainly a nice language and I like it. However, you shouldn't
use your ignornace if Perl to support Ruby:
* Perl sigils do not denote type: they denote context. $scalar is a
scalar, but $array[0] works with an array, and $hash{foo} works with a
hash. @array[0,1] works with an array, but @hash{'foo', 'bar'}. It's
not type, what you're doing with it. You can read more about that in
Learning Perl.
* Perl regular expressions aren't operators: the match operator, m//, is an
operator, but that's not the thing that's the pattern. The stuff
inside the match operator is the pattern, but the pattern is not the
match operator. You can create a regular expression without the match
operator with the qr() quoting mechanism.
You'll eventually find that Ruby, if it gets as popular as Perl, will be treated as poorly as Perl as newbies learn by hit-and-miss. Newbies will invent their own systems to explain the portions of Ruby that they know and that they think they understand. Just wait :)
Tnx!
I really like to learn from these Ruby presentations since I am unable to be at the conferences for now.

Brian Marick takes us through a quick tour of the most important values and challenges to adopting Agile successfully (they aren't the typical challenges and values we hear in the community).
The line between development and architecture is tricky. Does it exist at all? Is an ivory tower actually needed? There's a balance in the middle, but how do you move from developer to architect?
The word 'authority' sometimes produces an allergic response in hard-line agilists. Freedom and authority – both are bad if misused and both are good if used in right spirit for a noble cause.
"Getting Started with Grails" brings you up to speed on this modern web framework. Companies as varied as LinkedIn, Wired, and Taco Bell are all using Grails. Are you ready to get started as well?
Those familiar with only ITIL V2 often scoff at the thought that ITIL could serve as a governance framework for SOA. With ITIL V3, the focus of the framework shifted towards service-orientation.
SpringSource CTO Adrian Colyer discusses AspectJ, SpringSource's dm Server and tc Server products, OSGi and Scrum.
Heroku's Adam Wiggins talks about Rails, Background Jobs, Add-Ons, Ruby, and how Heroku manages to work around Ruby's inefficiencies using Erlang and other languages.
For Grady Booch the foundation of a good architecture is patterns, SOA being just one of many patterns. In this Second Life presentation, Booch attempts to bring more clarity on what architecture is.
