Hello all, I am very happy to announce that registration for my new course entitled "Ruby on Rails Development" at my college is now open. We are offering this course as part of our LAMP certificate which is designed for working professionals who want to upgrade their skills. I think that it is a sign of Rails'' growing maturity that I was able to propose this and work it through the college process. I''m very excited by what we will be able to accomplish during a full semester course. No more spend a month just getting everything installed! Woo Hoo!

Heh, if my 12 year-old daughter counts then it already has. She is learning ruby right now and is finding it very accessible. I read various critics who are saying that ruby has a very steep learning curve. My daughter disagrees. I do too and I think that ruby might be a very good first programming language. Brian: Sounds good to me! The course meets Tuesday evenings so let me know when you can come. -Eric On 8/2/06, Dark Ambient <sambient@gmail.com> wrote:> > When will it reach middle school ? > > Stuart > > On 8/2/06, Brian Hogan <bphogan@gmail.com> wrote: > > Congratulations Eric!
