This being the first post of the newly added DevEngine, I wanted to give an overview of what will be featured here. This blog is going to be geared towards the things we use the most here at C2M, namely Ruby, Rails, jQuery CSS and occasionally some other tools that we find very useful, simple, and solid. This blog will also be geared around the beginner.
When I was first starting i found that there are a lot of great resources (books, screencasts, podcasts etc..) out there for all these various frameworks and languages, but the one thing i found as a real beginner was most of these resources seemed to have this assumption that you had about 1 year under your belt. This can really cause a lot of frustration for those that maybe just don’t quite get the basics. To no fault of these many resources, I just think that after a while as you become more seasoned as a developer, you forget that there were those few moments where the light didnt shine as bright, therefore making what seems to be a simple tutorial, difficult. I’m hoping that as we post small segments here, that those just starting out will find this to be a great resource tp help them along their path to becoming Rockstar programmers.
