Check out Instant Rails: http://rubyforge.org/projects/ins...

Then follow tutorials online. I'm still not sure why you want to put
Hello World. There is a lot of other cool things that take the same
effort as Hello World.

The 1.8.2 Ruby One-Click Installer should come with webrick so you can
serve up web pages for your demo. As for using Ruby for generating the
HTML or invoking Ruby code within HTML check out
http://ruby.about.com/od/learnruby/p/hel.... HTH!

Oh good, questions... ;)

> oka...how does one do the above two hello world in ruby...

There are many, many ways. For the first one, you will need to
decide on some way to display a web page. CGI, WEBrick, Rails, and a
lot more are all possible choices. When you find one you want to
work with, let the basics of working with that library or framework
and I'm sure you will run into a "Hello World" example along the way...

Rinse and repeat for a GUI framework.

I would probably choose WEBrick and Qt, but there are many other good
choices.

Yes. WEBrick is a standard library and thus included with all Ruby
installs.

> what is 'required'....

require "webrick" # Is this what you meant?

I don't know your situation, but you might want to take a look at
some of the presentational material at: http://www.ruby-doc.o...
Or some of the screencasts at: http://www.rubyonrails.org/s...

Like steve said, there are a lot of things more interesting than
hello world. Hopefully these documents can help give you some ideas
on how to really drive the point home. Also, if your skeptics are
coming from Java or ASP, I know there are some good presentations
geared toward converting people. I really liked the ASP video that
showed up on this list about a month or so ago.

Good luck with your demo. Please let us know how it went. Once you
start getting into it a lot of things should impress you about Ruby.
It's relatively expressive, elegant, and easy to read. Plus the
syntactical rules won't have you scratching your head while trying to
learn the language. The community is friendly and helpful, which makes
being a newbie less intimidating. Plenty of languages will allow you to
script out GUI apps on a web browser and on top of a Windows OS. But
not all of these make it as fun as Ruby does ;-)
