About Me

I love ruby, its what I do at work and what I do in my freetime. Been doing ruby in some form since 2005. Love ruby for its ease in testing and MVC framework.

I live in Austin,TX but have successfully worked with people over skype.

Love helping people learn ruby, I am one of the co-founders of DevChix.

If you are just getting started, I recommend these resources:

• Rails For Zombies — a fun introduction to rails
• CodeSchool — their rails Best Practices training is awesome
• RailsCasts — every monday there is new short tutorial on something, awesome

Books

• Eloquent Ruby by Russ Olsen
• Metaprogramming Ruby: Program Like the Ruby Pros by Paolo Perrotta
