There are lots of tutorials out on Rails, and many people may need to work through them to get a grasp of Rails. but once you’re experienced in programming you might feel delayed by all the stuff the tutorial brings up but which you already know. Most of the tutorials I’ve seen so far also [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 3 so far )Unknowingly, Robert Scoble reminded me about something I thought about the last 24 hours: Yesterday, I attended Web Monday in Cologne, Germany. Although her entry to the presentation was not tech but fashion, Sandra of armedangels.de gave a great presentation on a shirt fashion label that noticed a community gathering around them and aims at [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )I’ve been a bit shy — maybe too shy — to go on with my series of posts of prerequisites needed to launch a social network because my previous posting ended with a cliff hanger on “now we finally approach social networks”.
