similar to: Pay rates for Rails developers

Hi all, I''ve been offered a short-term contract here in the North of England - around 3 months work, but with RoR I think it will take considerably less time - and am just curious what market rates were right now. I''ve been offered a little under ?1k/week which seems ''right'' for a PHP coder doing this kind of work, but should I be hitting for more, or is

I have been frustrated with J2EE technology just like any other developer who has worked in that technology for a long time. This made me learn about Rails and I was excited about RoR. Today I came across JBoss Seam framework and I am not able to contain my excitement. My passion for JEE development is back. It seems like it is better than RoR. I would like to hear differnt opinions about this

<http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=10368> Came across this as a stub page browsing Amazon UK. This is good news! I''m surprised it hasn''t been discussed on the list before. Was Chad keeping it a secret? I hope it will have plenty of BDD theory. I''m still waiting for that magic book I can give to someone and say "here - read this, it

Gang- 1. Is there anything in Ruby that handles the .properites files similar to the J2EE application servers. Or do I need to define all of the properties as constants? 2. Is there anyway I can load some of my classes (such as singletons) during the startup? I am looking for the startup classes that J2EE containers provide.

Might be asking a daft question or missing something obvious here as I''m a bit of noob at this, I''ve got the code below in a partial and am using it to display and attach skills to degrees which is working fine, I now need to do exactly the same thing for interests and was wondering if there is any way to pass the partial a parameter which I can then some how be used to replace

Hi fellow railers! We are discussing the possibility of writing a very large application in Rails. By "very large" I mean a framework that would contain a few hundred smaller applications that would need to talk to one big database and have to share some common session data I''d like to get some feedback on some possible ways of doing the following: The application would

Hi, Not sure where to address this question ... but I guess this is a good start. I am a freelance Rails developer - and have been developing Rails apps professionally for about a year now. I just want to get an idea of what you other freelancers charge yourselves out at. I have been charging the equivalent of about $28/hour, but get a sense that I could/should charge a whole lot more. I am

Hi all, The Rails book talks about running Rails under Apache, but is there a (relatively) easy way to deploy it to either Tomcat or JBoss? Is the CGI servlet the only option?

Hi all, We are busy developing some software (some is web based, others not) and I am having a bit of hard time understanding (or rather, choosing) a license model to work with, We will offer some free software (PHP based scripts, and even Windows based applications) and for this I'm sure the GPL, or even LGPL (for the network side?) will work fine. But, we also need to suppose these

Hi, I'm just wondering how other people cost/charge for * boxes they have installed in small businesses? Asterisk is such a complex beast and is capable of so much it seems equally complex to figure out a charging model!? I'm contemplating installing a pair of servers at a small company with two separate locations, one main aim is to provide a IAX link between the two but I'm sure

hi, I recently attended one of the ruby meetings that we have in my city. There one of the speaker said that google,amazon .. are working on RoR but still the performance of RoR is not at par with J2EE others.... he meant that though google,amazon working o it they will not bring it as front applications only parts the reason ruby is slow in comparison to other languages.... and in real time

I''m trolling for example RSpec code. Any pointers appreciated. Cheers, Obie

hello Friends, I am a newbie to "Ruby or Ruby on Rails". A J2EE application architect at my day job. A fairly experienced PHP web-developer as well. After reading into the many articles on Ruby/ROR, have to admit looks pretty good so far. Really serious about getting into this and possibly developing some good Web 2.0 applications. Just wondering the best way to learn Ruby on

So, I sat down to use set_fixture_class, and it bombed on the first thing I tried: set_fixture_class :content_drafts => "Article::Draft" I made a quick patch, and I''d appreciate a quick run through your tests to make sure it doesn''t disturb anything: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/4095 As I was typing this, I realized that the string gives us no benefits. I

Hi everyone, We had a really successful meeting tonight in Atlanta. The topic was an introduction to Ruby on Rails and our attendance was 30 people, which is over double of what we normally get. (Our attendance has dropped since moving the venue about 25 miles north of the city. The majority of the group stayed well past two hours, at which point we took a break. The entire presentation and

I''m writing a simple app that doesn''t need to use a database. I added :active_record to the config.frameworks -= line in environment.rb file. This lets me run ./script/generate fine without complaining about no connection. However if I try to run a functional test, it complains about no connection being established. Well...I don''t want a connection to be established.

Hello all, I work for a company located in Madison, WI and we''re looking at replacing a pre-Struts J2EE ecommerce app with Rails. ''ve been using Rails with pleasure for the last year on several supporting applications, and I have everyone else convinced that it''s at least worth investigating.
