Ask HN: Looking for a rails mentor

9 pointsby marcamillionvor 16 Jahren11 comments

All I need is access to someone that has a really good grasp on Rails to be able to give me some advice every now and then (specifically to do with building my app) - and explain a few things to me that are confusing.

Any takers?

Jump into #rubyonrails on irc.freenode.net - it's very oriented towards the newbie, and it's generally easy to find answers there if you ask good questions.

Great idea. I think I will try this also.

Happy to help if I can as well, details in profile..

Thanks ayb. Will be in touch. There is no email in your profile...just a twitter link. Do you mind either sending me an email (marcamillion @ gmail) or putting your info in your profile.

Thanks.

Grokking Ruby itself is more important. Rails is just a bunch of DSLs for web development. Anyway, feel free to contact to me.

I am grokking ruby, but it's difficult getting used to everything at the same time.

I definitely am not l33t enough to understand your email address.
