My first look at rails 3.0.pre and the steps to take to create and live with rails 3.0.pre that I came across.
 
Why was I looking at the secret Rails 3.0? Their generators are being migrated over to Thor and I wanted to see them in action. I might migrate newgem to use Thor too.

What did you do to get good at Rails?

    in Ruby and Rails, as well as reading loads of source code and ripping parts out and making smaller apps.

What did you do to get good at Rails?
Initially started with the Agile Web Dev with Rails book, used that to build an all-AJAX Twitter app back when Twitter was shiney and new. Demo'd that to work and that rolled into a pilot project using Ruby/Rails to tie a couple of backend APIs together into a r

What did you do to get good at Rails?

The first of these people is Sam Elliot. Sam Elliot is a guy from Scotland who is passionate about Ruby. He jumped straight into Rails in late-2007, without even trying Ruby.

I'll attempt to forego the whole life-story part here and give you some background on myself.
 
Born and bred (or is that bred and born?) in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia growing up in the city's north with my parents. Attended a public school until I was 12, and then was moved to the adjacent private school. Did well enough to pass every subject, but wasn't a straight-A student. Instead, I spent my later years following my interest in web development, meeting people at school. Together we formed a friendship and made the original version of this site, the name coming from one of them. Unfortunately we fell out, and I was left with this domain, as abstract as the name sound I like it. In years 11 and 12 I elected to study a TAFE (Teritary and Further Education) course whose formal name was "Information Technology, Certificate III (Client Support)". This covered interacting with the Microsoft Office suite and clients. It was around this point in my life that my parents separated, and my brother and I stayed with Dad, whilst mum moved out into a house that they were originally renting out to other people.
