Hello All, I'm currently working in the medical equipment research and development industry and I'm looking to switch industries to become a Rails developer. I've been focusing on getting to know Ruby for the past couple months and am feeling fairly comfortable with it. I want to start moving on and start on Rails now, but want some people's opinions on where to start. How'd you all get started? Did any of you switch industries in to Rails development? I'd be very interested in talking to someone who did switch industries successfully after studying Ruby/Rails independently. I'm a quick learner so picking up all these languages isn't a problem and just takes time, but I would really like some advice on how to reach that end goal of actually landing a job as a Rails developer (freelance work, where I should be before I START looking for freelance jobs, developing a Rails portfolio, etc.). Seeing someone else's Rails portfolio would be a huge help!
