I've been riding the rails

As some people might know, most of the time I act as a web developer. Mainly optimizing my code for the content management system I wrote for my website. While I have always developed dynamic sites using PHP and MySQL, I decided to try new tool, Ruby on Rails [link]

This framework, while it was tricky to get it working on Windows, it took all of about 5 minutes to set it up on Ubuntu. Unfortunately, I don't use Ubuntu very often so getting it working on Windows was more important. However, Instant Rails turned out to work very well in the end :D.

Anyway, after about a week of struggle, I have got it working (mostly) and I have managed to get the basics. It is very different to how I programmed in PHP (probably due to my roundabout way of coding where I wake up next morning unable to comprehend the code I wrote the previous evening wondering how it even runs) but I am glad that I am finally learning how to structure my code. It is also good to have an asset naming convention which is essential in Rails :)

Anyway I will be posting more photography work and web designs soon.
