Philadelphia, PA - BoardEffect (http://boardeffect.com) On Site Full-time Ruby on Rails developer

What sets BoardEffect apart from the field isn’t just that we’ve created one of the most powerful software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions on the market -- a mission-critical, secure, web-based portal for Boards of Directors -- or that we’re rapidly developing an international presence with our portal, as well as delivering empowering content, process expertise, and best-practice insight to those board members we serve. What really sets us apart and makes it so fulfilling to work here is that we're a firm whose employees get to work with phenomenal mission-based organizations -- think universities, human services, arts and culture, hospital systems, foundations -- people who we help DO GOOD. We are currently experiencing unprecedented growth; the possibilities for professional development, innovation, and impact are wide.

Get in touch with me at mhunt -at- boardeffect dot com if interested.

If I can link my amazon account and have it load all of my books into goodreads that's great. Otherwise, I still won't use goodreads because I have too many books to enter manually and I'm too lazy.

Your location field when signing up barely works at all and doesn't have instructions that are helpful. I've searched for at least 15 combinations of Philadelphia, PA United States and every time it comes up with nothing.
sweet, maybe bootstrap will use it now instead of the inferior one it uses now.
