Ruby Weekend
As some people plan vacations, I’m planning a Ruby weekend.
Today Friday, I’m going to get my day job projects worked on so I don’t have to do any on the weekend, do any errands and other things today and clear the weekend! I will be working on a site for my mother’s new Bakery/Coffeeshop! Save for going to the gym every day for a while, church on sunday and visiting with family on monday, I’m going to see how much I can get done in 3 days.
I’m always excited to see company’s blogging about their progress, especially with development. I happened to see this post on the ROR Blog about Revolution Health. And here is their blog. Has some interesting things about their progress with Rails. Also, a friend of mine, Peter Harkins is starting his own company and is blogging about how he is using rails — good tips to be had there also.
In addition to companies, I also like to follow independent consultants like Obie Fernandez, who is starting his own consulting company and is posting some interesting tips along the way.
Its companies and people like this that inspire me to work on extra projects, and I’ll be keeping my eye open this weekend for any neat trick I discover on my “ruby vacation.”
