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.<p>I am 31 and I am learning it full time.<p>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).<p>Thanks,
Adrian
Dear adrianmn<p>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.<p>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.<p>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.<p><a href="http://tr3w.com/" rel="nofollow">http://tr3w.com/</a><p>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;<p><a href="http://www.railsforum.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.railsforum.com/</a><p><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/" rel="nofollow">http://stackoverflow.com/</a>
I have got basics of rails under the belt(<a href="https://github.com/thoughtbot/trail-map/blob/master/trails/rails.md" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/thoughtbot/trail-map/blob/master/trails/r...</a>) but still there is plenty to learn. so lets collaborate, share our learning experiences, give/get advice & solve problems. This way we can help each other.<p>Skype: gaurishs<p>Google Plus(for hangouts): <a href="https://plus.google.com/111797581157961256980/" rel="nofollow">https://plus.google.com/111797581157961256980/</a>
