Tech Challenges, Traveling, Cartoon Foxes, etc.
Well, it's time to get the ball rolling on this blog
so here goes. After spending way too much of my free time implementing
the A* pathfinding for our latest tech challenge competition, I have
some time for posting. Currently I am travelling for a project, so it
gives me some extra time on my own to check out some different
technologies. Besides whatever in the world of .NET happens to catch my
eye, I plan to start blogging on Ruby, a language that is object
oriented, but otherwise much different than C#, Java, etc.
What attracted me initially to Ruby was the
great community around it, so I'll start by pointing to
Why's (Poignant) Guide To Ruby.
Even if you have no interest in Ruby, it is worth looking at for the
pure bizareness of it all. Currently the hot topic in Ruby is
Ruby on Rails.
Rails boasts of quick development turn around, almost no configuration
files and a low barrier to entry. As I get into it, I will share my
reactions.
