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 )Looking at some web services one might get the impression their creators assumes their audience to be fools. Once I even learned that from a manager’s side of view who stated that opinion clearly.
And why do managers may think so? Maybe for all the trolls out there and for the reports about those trolls. Maybe [...]
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”. Point is, my original notes on different kinds of communities were not as [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )I had a lot of hope to get straight a whole week in a line of posts. Unfortunately, this week some person at work enforced some unrealistic task to be done. Therefore, I got tired to death on a daily basis, therefore going to bed ‘early’ and ’sleeping long’ (midnight to 7am) instead of continuing [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )In my previous post, I introduced usability in general as a tool to lower the hurdles that might afflict random passers-by to become users of your service. Even more, usability provides you with chances to discern your service from alternative services, it’s relatively simple to implement and, once established, in your process of design and [...]

Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )Few days ago, on social networks, I mentioned the lack of a chance to organize your contacts by the roles you have: parents, family, close friends, your clique, acquaintances, colleagues, what else. By being able to sort your contacts by the role you have for each of them, you keep the chance to hide parts [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )Thanks for checking back, friends. I know I should blog a new post but am unsure of what to tackle next. … Well, probably you’re eager to learn about some more barebone social networks I might have picked up somewhere in the net or some more details on the MIT-licensed Rails social net barebone LovdbyLess [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )A few hours ago, Andrej Kostresevic twittered about “a location-aware app” bringing “people together in real life”. As I thought about something similar for commuters a few weeks ago, I answered. That brought me into thinking about social networks this morning.
I think a real life social network might fail to lift-off if there’s not at [...]
The fourth and final post of my links-spreading series of Rails/Ruby, mobile social networks and telecommunications posts is about Rails productive tools, i.e. such ones not dedicated to Rails development. Mostly, it’s about Rails hosting, especially using the newborn star-to be Heroku and the underlying EC2 technology, but contains also a link to a Rails-based [...]
