Too Much To Learn

I am reading "The Ruby Programming Language" by David Flanagan and Yukibiro Matsumoto. My friend Ed seem enamored with Rails. My friend's 12 yo son, a future MIT media lab researcher, also like Rails. My friend at cafepress.com says Ruby is becoming popular there. So, I am learning Ruby and Rails.

I've decided that since I hate interviewing, that I'd just pick a few problems and code them in different languages. Maybe the same problem in the different languages.

So, if you wanna know how well I code, read the references on linked in, or look at my code.

So, maybe, I should shelve ruby for now and just code something in perl or php and get it published on sourceforge. If someone wants to see it run, I'll start an EC2 instance for them.

Hell, I'm halfway through the book now. Might as well finish it. Ruby is interesting. Reading a chained enumerator example can make your head spin. aRray.map{...}.inject{...}, holy convolution batman. What's wrong with a while loop?

Well I better finish that book and start coding.
