The sample code for Ruby integration with C# (taken from cruizer here) is here: IronRubyTest.zip

Do check out Andre Cruz's IronRuby presentation slides and demo code -- which was my source for several key points in my presentation. While Andre lamented that he had an audience of 10, I shared his ideas to my audience of 100, as my way of thanking him. Salamat bushing! :)

During the presentation, Philip Laureano asked a rather difficult question regarding the DLR's integration with C# 4.0's "dynamic" keyword. He came up with the answer himself: click here for the sample code on how C# 4.0's dynamic keyword demonstrate the capabilities of the DLR. You the man, Philip!

I'm cooking up a follow up session on ASP.NET MVC working with IronRuby, but don't hold your breath just yet; will keep you posted. Thanks again to everyone who was there!
