I noticed in the archives that new members have been introducing themselves, so I thought I''d do the same. I''m from Australia, am a student and work as a ASP.NET/C# developer. I just recently found Rails, and ... I''m addicted! I''m posting this at 2:45AM here, and have been playing around with Rails for hours, and it''s finally all starting to make sense. I''m learning Rails by building an application called CodeScrapbook. It''s going to be a web-app that developers can use to archive all the code snippets, articles and class/module examples they find at various places on the web. I''m going to provide some nice ways to access the information, and some nifty features such as versioning and sharing of scrapbooks. This list seems like it''s going to be a great resource, and I look forward to talking to everyone. Also, if anyone has any ideas or comments on my CodeScrapbook project, I''d love to hear them! Cheers, Ben
Welcome Ben! You''re right, this stuff is really addictive. I took a leap of faith and started developing a commercial app last week in Rails. The first couple of days were frustrating but it''s gotten a lot better as I get familiar with the framework. I''m starting to believe the 10x productivity claim. I''ve been able to do more in a few days (which included learning Rails + Ruby) than I''d have been able to do in .net or JSP. Looking forward to seeing your app. Hammed> I noticed in the archives that new members have been introducing > themselves, so I thought I''d do the same. > > I''m from Australia, am a student and work as a ASP.NET/C#<http://asp.net/C#>developer.

Hi Ben, nice to meet you. I''m a Rails newbie myself. Haven''t had the time to get my hands dirty with it too much yet, so been reading alot and hanging out here. Everyone is very helpful and questions almost always get answered within hours if not minutes. I like your code scrapbook idea. I always find nice snippets of code online and it would be nice to have them all available in one centralized location. Maybe you can use the whole "tags" idea that del.icio.us<http://del.icio.us>uses to tag the different code snippets. This way it will be easy to find them at a later time.

I don''t mean to drudge up dead threads, but I have been trying to see if either of the projects mentioned in this thread have been released as OSS. Does anyone anything about them? I think using a personalized install of either app would be of great utility to my daily programming routines.> > http://www.leetsoft.com/rails/rails-ajax.mov > > http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/
