getting there

The lack of updates here are due to a variety of reasons: having my wife in hospital to have her gall bladder removed having one of our rabbits disappear (either as part of a stroll in the wild or becoming a valuable member of the food chain - valuable for a fox, that is.

Ruby On Rails Reference

Tomorrow marks the start of my third Ruby On Rails course. It’s going to be a 3 day course with a (somewhat lengthy) introduction to Ruby (and some of the joys of programming in a very dynamic language) with the rest of the time devoted to Rails. I firmly believe in hands-on training, so the amount of lecturing is minimal. And there are only 5 or 6 participants in the class. They will build an application from scratch - either something from their domain (or if they don’t have any idea) an application that I have thought out. ...
