hey folks, I am a marketer adventuring into the realms of rails... so I figured I should drop in with a hello to everyone and introduce myself. I run a design & marketing company called Volcanic Marketing. My main experience and knowledge is in the field of marketing. I started out with designing websites, moved into putting together multimedia CDs as well as flash development and then transited into executive roles. I''m using an e-commerce project as a test case for learning rails. I''ve got the design ready to go. Just need to figure out how to convert mock-ups into a live application. Anyway, that''s me in a nutshell.

Hi Ian, Nice to meet ya. I got the Agile Web Dev w/ Rails book since it''s written by David. I also have access to the Rails Cookbook via Safari Bookshelf. I read a few chapters of Rails Up and Running but that wasn''t helping as much so I returned that one. Have you found any particular books to be really helpful for a total newbie? ~ mel On Dec 26, 2:34 pm, Ian Zabel <ianza...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> You''re obviously a skilled marketer. > > Welcome to the world of programming with Ruby and Ruby on Rails, it''s > fun.

Hi Mel, welcome to the Ruby on Rails talk mailing list. I found the Ruby for Rails: Ruby techniques for Rails developers very helpful. There''s a few very knowledgeable people on here, like Phillip, Jeremy and Bala as well as myself who are willing to help out. Just ask a question and more often than not you''ll get a reply within the day (or sometimes within the hour!) ** --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

>>> Anyway, that''s me in a nutshell. Hello. >> >>> ~ melGreetings, Mel. I also used the AWDWR book. In fact, I bought the hard copy + PDF and I continue to use the PDF as a reference. Enjoy the ride! Peace, Phillip P.S. Oh, do try to not confuse me with the Phillip that Ryan mentioned. Whoever he is, I''m sure he''s much more knowledgeable than I am. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
