I am a Ruby on Rails developer in Madison, WI. I have been using Rails for over 7 years now and love it. I can do everything from chopping up PSDs and creating front facing pages, through backend development, as well as server set up and administration.
I started programming with Python and Geoprocessing. I used both for hobby as well as work. I have used Python for geoprocessing in ArcToolbox in addition to wxPython for stand-alone GUI's.
Since then, I got into Ruby on Rails for web applications. I did look into Django but I found it too difficult to learn. I continued to learn RoR as a hobby until the opportunity came along for me to leave the big bad corporate world and become a Ruby on Rails developer full time.
My blog started as a help for Python and geoprocessing and has since morphed to cover many other topics. Sometimes my posts are informational and sometimes they are just my opinions.
