Rails - Aug 2013 - Hello from Pittsburgh

Hello all, 

My name is Aleks. I have only been in Pittsburgh for a few short weeks. I have
lived outside the United States for the past seven years working as an
international journalist. I am about to jump off the high diving board into a
career change to IT, specifically Ruby and I sure could use some help from any
of you in acquainting me with experiences and opportunities that might make this
possible. I have gone through several online tutorials and books on Ruby and
Rails, but I find it best to learn by doing and collaborating on projects. I
will also be attending the Steel City Conference here in Pittsburgh later this
month. (http://steelcityruby.org/). I am a quick learner and have strong
commitment to doing this. Please feel free to write me back to learn more about
me, my skills and my interests and allow me to convince you that I might be
helpful in contributing to some of YOUR needs as you graciously help me with MY
goals and objectives.

Regards, 


Aleks

Hi,

there may be other topics about it or some other useful links but I always
see this as a good place to start
