I have started this blog as a repository for the information I gather of interest and use as a I go about my everyday life. I imagine it will mainly contain references to either brewing, programming or the wonderful world of rearing little humans.
At the moment I am spending most of my free time, and there isn't much of it, learning how to program using Ruby. I started about 2 months ago and I think I have a basic understanding of the language, but have a long way to go. However, I think I might, even at this stage, have something to give to the community, or at least something to record that will help me.
BTW. Ruby Forum is a really good place to get help.
I come to the world of Ruby from the world of .net, and I think it was due to the MVC Storefront series that Rob Connery made. I think he mentioned something about Ruby on Rails at the beginning of the series and then went about creating a ecommerce site using TDD (Test Driven Development) with .net3.5. I had never heard of TDD up till this point and thought "this is what I should really, really be doing". I followed the series and built my own version of the storefront, but TDD seamed to be a bit of a pain in the arse in .net, so I thought I would take a look at Ruby, or specifically Ruby on Rails. I think I'm a bit obsessed with Ruby now, or so my girlfriend says.
