4 Months with Rails - Launching My First App
http://www.uhpartments.com
I bought my first programming book from Amazon on August 17th (Chris Pine's Learn to Program) and have been teaching myself RoR since. I work days at a NYC startup in marketing and operations, so I learned in addition to working about 50 hours a week.
I attended a hackathon, spent hours on Stack Overflow and watching Railscasts, and just got my hands dirty and built something.
I obviously have a long way to go to be a proficient rails developer, but I'm absolutely loving programming, even if just as a hobby.
Would love some feedback! I had previously built http://www.badnycapartments.com as a Drupal site with the same sort of goal, but a year later I'm taking everything I've learned (not just tech but biz too) and re-launching as uhpartments.

But this was a whole different ballgame!
