Rails talk

I gave an introductory talk about Rails at the University of Barcelona this week. It was an invited talk within cerquide's course on network programming, though attendance was open. It was in fact a very nice surprise to see there some friends, ex-coworkers, and collegues.

The talk was a mixin of a few text-based slides and the development of a simple application that could demonstrate how one works in Rails, explaining, you know, MVC in Rails, migrations, generators, persistence, Ajax, etc., as we went along.

I have no response as of today from that expert on Unicode, this weekend I'll move this forward somehow.
