[Ironruby-core] Presentation

[John Lam (IRONRUBY)]

Loved the Borat photo and the Duck!

But to be fair, your IsCool function could have been written:

public bool IsCool() { return m_name.Contains("0"); }

And the new C# 3.0 Property stuff would have let you write:

public string Name { get; set; }

I used to use these kinds of arguments for C# 2.0, but Anders keeps on making it harder to continue doing so :)

Thanks,
-John

I recently gave a presentation about IronRuby to my local .NET user group.

As none of them knew anything about ruby it's about 2/3'rds introduction to ruby and 1/3'rd talking about IronRuby and the DLR specifically.

As part of this I also built a small project which is basically "IRB in your winforms app".
I found it to be a really effective way of showing off :-)

I've posted links on my blog for the members of the local DNUG to have a look, but I figured other IronRubyists might be interested, so if you are,

Cheers, and thanks to all the IronRuby team for all their hard work :-)
