Klondike

After picking up Ruby on Rails 2 months ago and falling in love, I stayed on the prowl and narrowed my job search exclusively to Ruby on Rails. A mention a few months prior (before I’d even started coding in it), to a friend who owned a web consulting firm, eventually bore fruit. Now we’ll just see how it goes!

It was a Calc 2 class, and it basically covered what Calc 4 was at WPI. It was pretty cool, because I love algebra and calculus, though some of the multivariate stuff was over my head in my senior year of high school. The class was just as boring as any other math class, but I got the feeling things were probably moving twice as fast as at WPI, which is already twice as fast as most other schools.

I may not remember all of why the lucky stiff’s bizarre and brilliant cartoons, but I remember nearly all of his Ruby metaphors. This book was a great introduction to what I now think of as the most advanced and beautiful programming language around.
