Ooochie: A Ruby Developer’s Journal

So I figure that I might as well jump right into the blogging thing while its hot. Last weekend I had the opportunity to attend RailsConf in Portland, Oregon, with several of the guys from Integrum. (Special thanks to the boss-man, Jade Meskill, for giving me the chance to come along). I'm really glad I went, mostly because it gave me such perspective into the phenomenon that is rails. I was introduced to ruby/rails back in December when I started at Integrum. I had no experience actually using either one, so I jumped right into learning as much as I could as fast as I could. I have really enjoyed working with rails the last 6 months, but I never realized that there was such community and passion behind it. I am proud to be a part of that kind of community. At RailsConf I attended several interesting talks, and I will try and post about some of them when I get the chance to sort through my notes. To get a play-by-play of Integrum's RailsConf Experience, visit Derek's blog.
