My first rails application is out!
I have been learning rails for past few months. You probably know it if you read my blog because there were a few things I posted as I learnt new things. I think the best way to learn is to build something. So, I built something finally! It is a dirty clone of ratemyprofessors.com and it is catered for colleges in India. And the name of the site is (roll the drums)
Yeah, I know. It is really simple with some very ordinary looks (there is a reason I do backend work for a living). But I feel good that atleast I have some product I can look at as a whole . Anyway, I will work on my css skills and improve the look and feel. I already have 20 more features lined up. The things I am more excited about are related to technologies and tools I want to try out like couchdb, memcached, some monitoring tools and so on. The whole idea of the site was for me to play with these things. If I get some users to my site, that will be a bonus!
If you have any ideas, find bugs and so on feel free to let me know. I am totally excited about it! A big thanks to Naveen and Harini for all the help with the ideas and ironing out issues.
Now, go ahead and play with the site and spread the word will ya?
