4 Months with Rails - Launching My First App

7 pointsby sbauchover 13 years ago
http://www.uhpartments.com<p>I bought my first programming book from Amazon on August 17th (Chris Pine's Learn to Program) and have been teaching myself RoR since. I work days at a NYC startup in marketing and operations, so I learned in addition to working about 50 hours a week.<p>I attended a hackathon, spent hours on Stack Overflow and watching Railscasts, and just got my hands dirty and built something.<p>I obviously have a long way to go to be a proficient rails developer, but I'm absolutely loving programming, even if just as a hobby.<p>Would love some feedback! I had previously built http://www.badnycapartments.com as a Drupal site with the same sort of goal, but a year later I'm taking everything I've learned (not just tech but biz too) and re-launching as uhpartments.

Congrats! It's great that you didn't just sit around on your off time and instead got up and started coding. It's definitely the way to do it.

Congratulation Sbauch. Did you have any previous web-development background like Html/CSS or you learned everything from scratch?
