Although it's not dedicated to Ruby or Ruby on Rails, I thought a few of you would enjoy listening to it anyways. We do interview Dan Berger, a local Ruby celebrity, in the first episode. The theme for the podcast is software development, and becoming a better developer. We don't claim to have all the answers, so I'm also calling on you folks to help out. We've only released one episode so far, but we're committed to this project. I'd love to hear your feedback, either here, or at the DevFi.com site. The more involved we can get the community, the better the podcast and site is going to be. So please help out! Give us feedback, show ideas, and tips for the next show. Until iTunes picks us up (which could be a few weeks), you can subscribe via: http://devfi.com/articles.atom We also have a plain old mp3 file for downloading, listed in the show notes at: http://devfi.com Thanks everyone! -- Peter Jones, pmade inc. http://pmade.com From nick at remycorp.com Mon May 19 17:07:44 2008 From: nick at remycorp.com (Nick Gasparro) Date: Mon, 19 May 2008 15:07:44 -0600 Subject: [Boulder Ruby Group] Ruby on Rails opportunity (denver) Message-ID: <01cc01c8b9f4$6248b4f0$26da1ed0$@com> Hello Group, I work for an executive search firm here in Denver.

(Not necessarily Rails, even!) My company is hiring, I've posted the job description on my blog.
