Roughing it in Winnipeg
I’m consulting here in Winnipeg, Canada for a very cool dot.com. Teaching these developers Ruby on Rails is just too fun. They are Web Developers, mainly having used PHP, and like every great development shop, they’ve rolled their own tools for doing database access, managing the database (migrations), templating, deployment, etc. After teaching them the basics of Ruby on Rails and all these things that are built right in, they’re in love. I can’t wait to show them the built-in AJAX, testing, RESTful web-services, deployment, and all the other ruby-love and rails-goodness that I’ve come to love myself.
I certainly remember the day I fell in love with Ruby on Rails. Sigh.
If you’re a web developer doing web-stuff and you haven’t taken a look at Ruby on Rails, you’re missing out. Even learning a new framework (and language like Ruby) will expand your repertoire in your current language/framework of choice.
Did I mention I’m available for hire for consulting/training/project-kick-offs/development?
