China Musings

I have been really interested in the Ruby Language and the much hyped Ruby on Rails web development platform. I had already played a bit with Rails, but this weekend, I decided to go back and do some research in Ruby itself. I found this wonderful book/tutorial that I just had to share:

http://tryruby.hobix.com/

http://poignantguide.net/ruby/

They are both written by the same guy. Its amusing, strange, and very informative. It is aimed at someone who is just starting programming, so it moves a little slow. But what it did was it gave me a very good feel for the Ruby language. Not just the syntax, but also the style.

OK, I know, why have a pic of SF if I am blogging from China?

Well, I like the picture. Also, we just got back from our US trip. We had a great time, but now its back to work.

I promise, when I get a good pic of Guangzhou that matches this theme, i’ll put it up here.

Now that I am back, I promise to get  back to my semi-regular schedule of 1 podcast a week. Maybe. How’s this. If anyone emails me asking for a new episode, I’ll put one together. I’m not sure anyone is paying any attention.
