I have done it! Thanks to OneMonthRails

I finally got my app done.

I have spent the past 2 weeks working on the OneMonthRails course and completed it this morning. I had quite of few hiccups during it, but was able to find the answer for my problems from google and stack overflow. The course is definitely work the money paid, because it gives you something a book or cant - Something to put in your portfolio. I have done a TON of researching on how to land a Ruby job and the one thing that stands out is a portfolio. You can really learn till you are blue in the face, but if you have nothing to show for it then its all for nothing. Though I do highly recommend getting a foundation with Codecademy or Learn Street prior to completing OMR, this will ensure you spend the time doing rather than figuring out the syntax.

My next step will be to apply what I have done and continue on to another tutorial that comes highly recommended, Learn Ruby the Hard Way . I will also attempt to create another web app prior to Bloc.io mentorship commencement.

First App is up on Git Hub

UPDATE: You can find my app live on the web here

After spending a few hours setting up my computer for programming, I finally completed something. The app is not posted to the web yet, but you can find my code on Github if you care too look. I am still trying to figure out how to properly design it, but take a look at where it's at.

I had the worst time setting up my system with the OSX Mavericks. After too much time troubleshooting I just decided ti downgrade back to Mountain Lion. After that it took me no time to get up and running.

Stay tuned to twitter an my blog for more updates as I proceed on this journey.
