Startups On Rails

About

Doug Cole and Galen Ward started ShackPrices.com a little over a year ago and settled on Ruby on Rails a couple of months later. They 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. They found that blog posts are often the best and most effective documents for learning more about Ruby and about Rails.

Every so often they find a solution that so impresses them that they want to share it with the community, but they don’t have the time (or the abundance of genius) to post often enough to make a stand alone blog. So StartupsOnRails is a blog for them and a few other startup founders / coders to post insights. Hence “Startups on Rails.”
