First of all, *thank you* for all the wonderful feedback that Steven Rockarts and I received on our talk at Edmonton Code Camp!  Steven has said he feels like the prettiest girl at the school dance, and I have to admit that my sentiments are similar except I prefer wearing men's clothing to dances. 

Based on the feedback that I've received, I'm going to do a couple of things.  For those of you who want it all and want it now, this post will supply the entire 30 minute screencast I was using.  For those of you who either feel a little more patient or don't really have the time to watch 30 minutes of code typing, I will be doing a series of posts this month basically breaking apart the presentation piece by piece along with a smaller bit of the screencast every day.  But that's not all!  To answer some of your other requests, I will be throwing in never-before-seen posts and/or footage of the following:

• setting up Ruby
• exception handling in Ruby
• TCP in Ruby
• a bit of talk around Ruby IDEs

I used Camtasia to record my screencasts, so if you want to view these things properly you'll probably need to use the TechSmith capture codec. 

Without further adieu, here is the screencast!!  Enjoy, and soon we will begin our odyssey...
