I am the profile this article talks about, and I can assure you Rails is perfect for beginners. Sinatra confuses the hell out of me, admittedly and I think the key - less and less so every day. I also taught, being a total noob myself, my b

Hey - I love this site, I'm reasonably new to Ruby stuff and it gives me a taster of things I love reading about, and things I'd like to do. Can anyone please suggest any other similar blogs/places? Thanks!

Hey - we're building a similar site (fashion search, UK based), and yours has always been one of our comparison sites. Nice job, didn't realize you were a HN'er :)

Hey - I'm interested. I'm currently sick, so I don't want to commit but like the thought of a breakfast meetup! Some questions! Where is it? Who is going? What kind of things do you usually discuss? My skills are in code/metrics/seo/mobile

Yeah, your right. I guess my point comes with an obvious caveat - it depends what your business is. Our audience are particularly fickle, and there are lots of other places they can (quickly) go to satisfy their need (albeit not as well ;)

Obviously cool stuff, but, is a user really going to invest their time in doing that? We run a womens fashion store, and I know for sure our users WOULD NOT fill this out, or even interact with it. Would be interested in seeing some stats i

Product excites me. Its the feeling I get when I notice a problem, the visual appears in my head, I start thinking code. Its an addiction for me. Been like it for 5 years.

railstutorial.org should come first. Then once you've cracked that, Railscasts will make more sense.

I just found it through the database course and signed up. Just got a taste of machine learning etc via http://blog.saush.com/ Hoping not all of it will go over my head!

You mean manually create them? Or is there a generator tool you could suggest?

This has the makings of a very hilarious scam. Fill out your form, and pay £10.99 to have your case considered.

Sit down 100 randoms from off the street, ask them if "companies having your data up to date" is a big problem for them. The ask them how high up their list this problem is, if of course it actually is. My money is on "not very high".

I recommend you buy a decent pad and pen, I have a Moleskine one next to me... I'm almost afraid to write on it!

Not a single one of my friends is tech savvy. We have a music guy, a general knowledge guy, a sports guy and me, the tech/biz guy. As well as a few other unspecifieds. I don't agree you need them instead of your old friends. Get a few web c

I dont at all disagree with what your saying, that is how I would usually approach things. In the context of some things mentioned on the thread I feel my sentence is appropriate. Nobody on this thread could say/articulate a single point or

Very well said. IMO anyone who disagrees either doesn't know enough of "the situation" or has simply scanned over your words, not actually digested them.
