I have a burning desire to build a few of them, *three specific ones*. One is really cool, actually two are really cool, and the third is really small (so it boosts its cool factor to being viably cool) The ones that I have in mind are finite projects, that I know are achievable. I want to do them as my own IP, until I get them published. However I am already saturated with a full time position and some 'other stuff' for my time off. I want to have 'contract for hire' agreements , I.e. if i make my cool apps (three of them) I don't want the contractor I paid making his own clones, or having a hand in getting clones made (no fair). I am not the richest guy in the world so I cant pay the rates like rohan.deshpande-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org's $750/day, he posted back in feb for example (I am not saying your not worth it Rohan, I am just saying I cant afford it). I would want to play a hand in the softwares design and architecture, but I just don't have the time (man i sigh at the thought of doing the undertaking alone) due to previous occupations,,,, if i wasn't previously occupied, I may just try it alone, but I have a sh$% load on my plate in life. This isn't a job. This is a project/gig. Something for the weekend warrior who wants to stay indoors this summer; Most of you will glaze over this and delete the mail, that's fine, but if someone is out there who wants to do a mac ruby app as a contract for hire, then send me what you could do 'at will and being satisfied'. Perhaps we can get the projects off the ground. I have mockup screen shots and workflows, some db designs. I just don't have the macruby experience. If you don't have macruby experience but want to learn it, perhaps we can work together. [At the moment I am in the middle of implementing my own rails store for my own product, not necessarily the wises use of my own (development) time. ] I can assure u, these apps I want to build will help their users, its one of those 'contributing to mankind/solving a problem' type work and not 'affiliate marketing/selling/eccommerce' type work. *i.e. clean apps vs dirty ones... * one helps people learn,I want to do this first. The other two help enable people. They are pretty finite in size. Joe Fox of http://codenoise.com/ - if someone like you wanted to 'team up 1/2 and 1/2' on these ideas I would be open to that. But for the 'Joe I don't know' I really want to keep the IP under my company and pay you a 1099 contract as work for hire. I want to work with someone locally, due to the trust factor mainly. With best regards, Alex Stoneham </pre> Alex Stoneham 2012-05-26T06:32:25 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.region.san-diego/7119 <pre> I was a Java developer, and I am now transitioning to Ruby and/on Rails. I went through Code Academy here in Chicago to help me focus and become more ingrained in the Ruby community here. A lot of the other students were new to development, so there were a lot of things that could not be covered in detail. One topic that was skimmed over was testing. I have mentioned that I would like to start an RSpec study group here, and I would like some advice on how to go about it. (I should probably call it a "Ruby Testing Study Group", but I first used the term "RSpec Study Group", and it kind of stuck.) One possibility is to have some people go through "The RSpec Book", perhaps covering a chapter a week or something like that. The disadvantage is that if someone misses a week, they might be left behind by the rest. One person suggested meeting one a week, and perhaps for the first week go over a chapter in "The RSpec Book", the next week having a hack night where the group writes some tests for someone's project/app, and perhaps a third week someone could give a lecture/Q&amp;A about their thoughts on testing (there seem to be a lot of strong opinions out there). Does anyone have any thoughts/advice? - Eric MacAdie </pre> Eric MacAdie 2012-05-21T17:33:48 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.region.san-diego/7118 <pre>There is an Upcoming Certified ScrumMaster Course in Orange County June 4 - 5.

While I did a polemic on Postgresql vs MySQL back in the day: &lt;http://sdruby.org/podcast/55&gt; … and it’s still pretty much relevant, if there is interest, I could do something that’s less of a polemic and more a technical overview of the features that would be available to you should you switch to Postgres (or that you just may not be aware of even if you are using Postgres), and what they’re for. I’m thinking things like partial and functional indexes, custom data types, the advanced programming features, hstore and Postgis. I could do a presentation on these features at the next meeting, or perhaps in a month or so if y’all don’t want too all Postgres all the time(™). :-) </pre> Guyren Howe 2012-05-21T07:44:50 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.region.san-diego/7111 <pre> *Platinum|Edge: A decade of agile expertise* Certified ScrumMaster Training in San Diego, CA Go Platinum- and experience what world-class training can do.

Tomorrow, Dan Gilkerson will be passing on some tricks he has learned for dealing with this. The meeting will take place at 6:30pm, May 3rd, at The Linkery in North Park. "Techniques for adapting to new languages and frameworks" Development platforms are constantly evolving and can be hard to keep up with. Dan has developed techniques for quickly understanding new languages and frameworks; he will demonstrate some of his favorite methods, including how to leverage your existing knowledge and how to use sandboxing to isolate the concept that you want to learn. Dan Gilkerson has been building software since he was 8. He started his career off in computer security and now is an agile developer at VersionOne. He has contributed to a variety of projects including Approval Tests, Ruby on Rails, F#, and CodeRush. Dan enjoys discovering associations in the world that many overlook; when he’s not building software he spends time trying out new hobbies such as juggling, magic, DJing, paintballing, and go-karting. This meeting will be held at The Linkery in North Park at 6:30PM. Here are directions: http://bit.ly/GPS2yH You can grab a beer at the Linkery bar at any time, and are welcome to join us for dinner after the meeting at 8. http://agilesandiego.org </pre> June Clarke 2012-05-02T22:47:31 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.region.san-diego/7097 <pre>Here's the lineup for Thursday's meeting! SMALLER JAVASCRIPT PACKAGES WITH THE RAILS ASSET PIPELINE Marc Leglise shows how to break up your large application.js into logical chunks, leveraging more power from the Rails 3 asset pipeline. Building on last month's talk by Rafael Cardoso, this method allows you to separate concerns about download sizes from triggers for page-specific javascript. RULES IN POSTGRES Postgres has a powerful feature called rules that let you re-write incoming queries. Rules are similar to triggers in Postgres, but much more efficient. Guyren Howe shows how to use rules in some common use cases. RAFFLE We'll be giving away a few books, a shiny new Peepcode, software licenses, and Heroku credit! AFTERPARTY After the meeting, we'll head over to Rock Bottom Brewery for a round or two of beer. .... DIRECTIONS Meetings are held on the UCSD campus, at 7:30pm, on the first Thursday of the month.

One is a dating site, and the other one will integrate with LinkedIn and also be a Facebook app. They should be kicking off in the next week or so.
