SD.rb Adds 4 New (Video) Podcasts

Today Chris Abad of the sd.rb podcast uploaded four new episodes:
In Episode 004: Numbers Tom Preston-Werner (of [Gravatar], Chronic) gives the first part of a series I hope he’ll continue called “Ruby is Awesome”. This talk focuses on interesting things about how Ruby handled numbers. Though this sounds really basic, he showed things that I had never come across and kept my attention. If you’re newish to Ruby this is definitely worth your attention. Go take a look.
Episode 005: ARTS Plugin is my presentation on using ARTS to build test driven RJS. This is from the second meeting of sd.rb so the first part is full of Rails basics. If you’re interested in seeing ARTS in action (used to build an ajaxified blog) you probably want to skip to about 1/3 of the way in.
Episode 006: Dynamic Domains features Chris Abad talking about his new application [Outlandish] and how they implemented dynamic domains.
Finally, in Episode 007: Rails Authentication I talk very briefly about how to use the acts_as_authenticated and restful_authentication plugins. At some point I begin rambling about how REST works, but that part is best left for when the podcast of last night’s REST presentations go up. I’ll point you there when it happens.
Are the podcasts supposed to be so small we can’t see what he’s writing on the screen?
Rob: There’s resolution constraints when publishing in a form an ipod can handle. Unfortunately this can mean the text is hard to see. In my latest talk on there I bumped up font size a fair amount so it looks ok from here. In my talk last night I decided to use slides so it would be more accessible for people online.
Sweeeet. These are really cool.
Kevin, could you post the URL to your presentation on simply_restful from last night? I remembered you had one posted on the end slide but I forgot to jot it down!
