Sure, I had been a telemarketer, a strawberry picker, a caterer and an employee of Dairy Queen. But on January 1st of 2009 I got my first “real” job.

I was hired by StudioCT, a web design and development shop run through The Ohio State University Honors and Scholars program StudioCT is managed by David McIntyre and Ray Arebalo. Thanks to them, I gained my first real web programming experience. Up until that point my only familiarity with web programming had come from taking a few of the classes offered by the Media, Marketing and Communications Scholars Program. I played around with .Net 2.0 using C# under the much appreciated guidance of Jimmy Lauzau, scattering in some php with Anish Minstry. However, my results were only of moderate success, which was discouraging. Working at studioCT quickly changed this, as I was put on real projects and assigned to work with students who had quite a bit more experience than I had

So you need to store some JSON blobs in your database. What do you do? You have plenty of options these days. You can serialize a hash into the database. You can reach for a document store like mongodb. Or, you can lean on rails 4 postgres json data type support.

If you haven't yet upgraded to rails 4, go ahead and do that now, I'll wait...

tick, tock, looks at watch

Jokes aside, it's totally worth it.

Anywho, now that we are on rails 4, let's go ahead and stuff some JSON into the database.
