First Blog post.

When I first happened upon Ruby on Rails back when it first appeared on Slashdot, I thought, neat, another toy web framework for writing bad web applications. I had honestly forgotten about it, until a few weeks ago I heard that Rails was gaining momentum and figured it deserved a second look.

I am not sure where I stand on the framework now as I have yet to develop anything with Rails, but the community has me intrigued, as does the Ruby language. Everything seems quite slick after a quick glance, but writing large applications in dynamically typed languages has always made me nervous. It reminds me of some of the most horrible code I have ever had to work with in my career.

So, I’ve bought an iMac(i have never used a Mac in my life),  Programming Ruby  and Agile Web Development with Rails. I have signed up for a year with Dreamhost, I have installed Typo and am ready to try this thing out. Now I just need a project.
