Yes, that would be a great idea. Using some kind of screen cam software 
like RoboDemo (http://www.macromedia.com/software/robodemo/), but maybe 
not so expensive. It would be great to have a multipart tutorial about 
how to program the "pet store" in Rails, Cerise, Arrow, Borges, IOWA, 
... Imagine what kind of effect this could have as presentation 
material. No other language has that. Back in the day I stumbled upon 
http://learnvisualstudio.net/ and I really liked the concept of actually 
having these video tutorials that show you exactly what you have to do. 
Think about it, this would be absolute killer presentation material for 
Ruby. But I guess nobody is going to have enough time to do this, 
including me :(
