Okay,
so my life is crazy. Now I’m teaching from 11am to 11pm straight with no break. Why did I say yes? Am I that in need of cash? (Kidding – who isn’t in need of cash?)
I was thinking about all of the things I need to do I’m wondering when am I going to get it all done.
Met with a former student/partner and we decided to do some collaboration. We were thinking of doing some flash components together and possibly selling ‘em on a place like flashden – any suggestions?

I’ve checked out a book on programming with Ruby and I’m pretty excited. It is sooooo object oriented that I’m starting to understand some of the OOP concepts from other projects a little bit better. Naturally, that has led me to Ruby on Rails, which seems to me as a very good way to learn more about the MVC (model view control) design pattern. I’ve also found a Ruby alternate to AMFPHP that uses Ruby, so I’ll be checking that out.
It seems that Rails and Flex may be pretty good partners as well.
The thing is – the syntax is very different from what I’m used to. No brackets, property definitions in objects are different, as well as the formatting of the conditional statements – not saying that I can’t look at it and understand it (mostly) but I am going to need more than a checked out library Ruby book to begin creating some useful code.
If you’re interested in learning about Ruby and Ruby on Rails with me, I’ve bookmarked a couple of good sites on my delicious account. http://delicious.com/spazzken/ruby
