First of all, I'm sorry I missed it last night, but my daughter was in 
the hospital until 3am Monday morning, and I was wiped. Sounds like it 
was a great talk.

Second, I would love to see more basics covered, and I would be up for 
6 or 7 for the start time. My current mode in Rails and Ruby is as a 
sponge. I am soaking it in, trying to get a sense of where the edges 
are, and trying things as I go. But I could use a big leg up from the 
scaffold/demo end of the pool.

Thanks again to Erin and the group, I hope this grows!

Walter
