Business geeks on their true passion: code
Normally I’d suggest starting a blog about code by just jumping in – it ain’t a blog about talking, right? But I’ll disregard my own advice and give you a little background first.
Doug and I started ShackPrices.com a little over a year ago and settled on Ruby on Rails a couple of months later. We learned Ruby and Rails via the traditional route – purusing the ten million “do X in 15 minutes with rails” stories on the web, reading through the Pragmatic Programmers Rails book and finally turning to the API and some solid rails blogs including:
err.the_blog
Nuby on Rails
Ruby Inside
has many through
(and many more)
We found that blog posts are often the best and most effective documents for learning more about Ruby and about Rails.
Every so often we create our own solution that so impresses us that we want to share it with the community, but we don’t have the time (or the abundance of genius) to post often enough to make a stand alone blog. So we’re putting together a blog where we can post our insights along with insights from a bunch of other rails-driven startup founder / coders. Hence “Startups on Rails.”
We’ll be introducing those other contributors in the coming few weeks.
