Ask HN: Looking for a rails mentor

Posted by marcamillion on Friday November 05, 2010 @08:01PM
from the ask-hn dept.

All I need is access to someone that has a really good grasp on Rails to be able to give me some advice every now and then (specifically to do with building my app) - and explain a few things to me that are confusing.

Any takers?

Jump into #rubyonrails on irc.freenode.net - it's very oriented towards the newbie, and it's generally easy to find answers there if you ask good questions.

Thanks ayb. Will be in touch. There is no email in your profile...just a twitter link. Do you mind either sending me an email (marcamillion @ gmail) or putting your info in your profile.

Thanks.

Grokking Ruby itself is more important. Rails is just a bunch of DSLs for web development. Anyway, feel free to contact to me.

I am grokking ruby, but it's difficult getting used to everything at the same time.

I definitely am not l33t enough to understand your email address.
