Do you love Rails and Ruby? So do I, please mentor me!

6 points| adrianmn | 13 years ago | reply

After spending few weeks on learning python/django and ruby/rails and going over the tutorials I feel ruby and rails are a much better fit for me.

I am 31 and I am learning it full time.

Are you enthusiastic about Rails and would like to guide me in the learning process? I have temporary added both my Skype and email address in my profile(I would prefer Skype).

Thanks, Adrian

Dear adrianmn

I probably not the type of experienced mentor you are looking for. However I've been using rails for about a 1.5 years and have managed to accomplish most of what I've wanted to do with rails in building my own startup app - padseeker.com.

I'd be happy to do what I can to help. Drop me a line and I will do what I can. At the very lest if you are having some of the same issues I had when I started perhaps I can be of service.

While we are on the subject the most valuable book I've purchased in learning rails has been The Rails 3 Way by Obie Fernandez. I highly recommend it.

http://tr3w.com/

Also I used 2 forums frequently when I hit the wall trying to tackle rails problems. I recommend joining both of them and using them frequently. When I have an issue I post it on both forums - Rails Forum and Stack Overflow;

Will do but it doesn't seem to be heading that way :)

Are you also learning Rails?
