Ruby on Rails 101: Presentation Slides for a Five Day Course

I've decided to share the presentation slides that I developed for the five day introductory Ruby on Rails course that I held in June here in Sweden. All in all it's 340 slides available under a creative commons license. You can download the slides as a PDF file here or view them over at Slideshare. To give you an idea of what's inside, here are the chapters:

I hope the slides will be useful in helping people learn and teach Rails. I'd like to thank David Heinemeier Hanson for creating such a wonderful framework and Dave Thomas for doing such a great work documenting it.

thanks for the pdf. A tiny tip so. If you want to have your examples copy-pasteable for irb-sessions, don't use the curly quotes 'cause they get striped out when pasted into the terminal-window in an irb-session.

May be you may prepare videocast or screencast for this? It may be really great for those who learn rails through internet resources, as i am.

This is a really nice compilation, and I appreciate the effort you put into it, and that you've shared it with the world. I think that without any previous ruby / rails experience (at least a few videos, and some introductionary book) or without a tutor sometimes it could be hard to follow for a complete beginner.

However have your irb ready ant type in everything you see - and it's easy. On an other side I like your concise style. Keep it up Peter!
