Dan is on Rails
So it has been a little over a year since my last post and this blog will disappear within the next few months but I thought what the hell, it is time to post.
Just as the title says, I've jumped on the Ruby on Rails bandwagon and the bandwagon is awesome. For those of you who haven't checked out Ruby on Rails yet go now. It is still very young as far as frameworks go, but I'm willing to bet that it will keep growing year after year.
I've played with a few different frameworks over the years and this is by far the best. The thing I enjoy best about Rails is the fact that it is a MVC (Model, View, Contoller). For those of you unfamiliar with this concept it is a great way to code that focuses on DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself). Bottom line is less code to make your site work.
Think of Basecamp just custom built for my current employer.
I have to say I really enjoy coding Rails and would really like to make it a full time job. I'm still very new to the whole community but I'm starting to launch some new projects.
I've just launched a new work order list for my full time job. Think of Basecamp just custom built for my current employer. Unfortunately I can't share the URL, since it is for work, but I'm proud of my work. It is the first time in a long time that developing a dynamic website was actually fun.
I like the new layout for your site. As for the ROR’s switch, stop being a hippie and just learn php.

I already know PHP, it isn’t as much fun as Rails.
