RoR Rocks 3 years ago

RoR rocks almost as much as Ruby itself rocks (but that is saying a whole lot)!

I’m loving Ruby, and Rails is making that experience all the sweeter. I’ve finished over half of the Agile book, and will be reading the rest as I go along. I’ve been building an app, and can honestly say that I know enough of how the system works (the theory/philosophy stuff is easy) that I consider myself learned, if to the lowest degree.

I’ll be mastering through using it, as is my tendency. Hope to see more people learning and mastering Rails!

Attend RailsConf (read all 2 entries…)

RailsConf2006 3 years ago

RailsConf was an incredible experience. I learned a whole lot and met a bunch of awesome people, like Amy Hoy and Zed Shaw (of Mongrel fame).

Oh, and check out photos from the trip!

Next year will be in Portland, OR, and I desparately hope to attend.

Cheers!

Learn Subversion (read all 3 entries…)

Indispensible 3 years ago

SVN is a fantastic tool, and is very easy to use and get used to. I’m with kronn in that I’ve not mastered it, but I know that takes time. I’ll be using and teaching SVN at my work now so I’ll have plenty of face time with it.

Hoorah for SVN!
