Ok, so another day, more coding.

I really love coding in ruby on rails, the language is very intuitive and user-friendly and if you use the right editor, you can see, rather quickly, if you've made a mistake and missed the end of a method or class, even before you run the program.

I'm currently learning how to improve my skills with Test Driven Development.  All the things I've read on TDD say it makes it much faster to code once you get the hang of it, but right now it is really slowing me down.  It'll be interesting to see if this changes after a number of months of coding...I'll let you know.

If anyone wants to work in the ruby on rails field, there is a great team of people at Firehose Project that are some of the best instructors and mentors I have ever worked with in any field.  Marco and Ken are both incredible mentors and are available any time I've asked for help...and I've had to move things around so I've asked questions at 2 in the morning and I still get a quick, usually within 1-2 hour, response...unheard of in most businesses.

While on this journey to coding nirvana, I've learned that the best way to learn is to just keep coding and to ask a lot of questions...if you don't utilize the people around you, you are trying to reinvent the wheel without needing to do so.

Stay on track and keep coding!
