Play with Ruby/Rails

[techhead]

It's time to pull the trigger and learn Ruby and Rails.

To be honest, I've never had much interest in learning it. But it's been popping up in my world more lately. For one, I've been following dhh lately and really enjoying what he has to say. When job openings appeared at 37signals, it made me wish that I already had some experience. Time to get some.

Another motivator is the popular opensource project, Mastodon. It's written in Rails. And I plan to set up a public instance (see issue #2) and contribute to the community.
