Please see examples of my work at http://www.is-land.com This is a demo site. It’s not highly polished, as it is a work in progress, but I feel it does show some achievements to date with Ruby on Rails. It is completely based on the Ruby on Rails framework with a MySQL database. Other skills required are straight HTML, CSS with javascript and AJAX. The site is deployed under SVN subversion (ready for team deployment). It’s on a shared host environment using Linux/Apache on Site5 (great because they allow you SSH shell access!).
I have been working on web based application development since 1996 and believe strongly that Ruby on Rails is a superior language and framework for rapid application development to any other I have used. I would relish an opportunity to work in a team or individually in an environment where these technologies are employed.
I have a healthy interest in keeping up with new technology and a strong sense of where it can be applied. I am pragmatic in my approach and prefer agile methods of development where solutions can be found and deployed rapidly.
I am looking for new projects in London or remotely!
If you are a RoR developer in London (or looking for one) then why not drop me a line (through the website http://www.is-land.com) – It would be great to hear from others in London and it may be mutually beneficial!
