<p>I gave a talk last night at the <a href="http://novarug.org/articles/2008/04/10/april-meeting">NoVaRUG</a> on <a href="http://merbivore.com">Merb</a>. I also gave the same talk at <a href="http://ruby.meetup.com/85/calendar/7514062/">B'More on Rails</a> last week. Thank You to everyone who helped organize these meetings and to everyone that attended. Here are my slides from the presentation:</p> <div style="width:425px;text-align:left" id="__ss_357773"><object style="margin:0px" width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://static.slideshare.net/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=merbpresentation-1208403595811156-9"/><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><embed src="http://static.slideshare.net/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=merbpresentation-1208403595811156-9" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><div style="font-size:11px;font-family:tahoma,arial;height:26px;padding-top:2px;"><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/?src=embed"><img src="http://static.slideshare.net/swf/logo_embd.png" style="border:0px none;margin-bottom:-5px" alt="SlideShare"/></a> | <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/pjb3/merbintro?src=embed" title="View 'merb.intro' on SlideShare">View</a> | <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/upload?src=embed">Upload your own</a></div></div> <p>The 16th slide titled "Demo" has a video embed in it that didn't translate over to SlideShare, so <a href="http://blip.tv/file/get/Pjb3-merbintroNonBlockingControllerDemo981.mov">here it is</a>. <a href="http://blip.tv/file/get/Pjb3-merbintroNonBlockingControllerDemo981.mov">This video demonstrates using the <code>render_deferred</code> method of Merb to return a Proc to mongrel</a> which releases the lock on the Merb app and allows other requests to be processed by Merb.
