Original Post: Consulting Feed Title: too-biased Feed URL: http://blog.leetsoft.com/xml/rss/ Feed Description: Read the announcement: CD Baby rewrite in Postgres and Ruby, Baby!CD Baby is going rails. This is huge! If you don’t know CD Baby, its a distribution site with over 80.000 musicians under contract and its one of the biggest digital distributors of audio to Apple iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody, etc.  Read all about it here. What is even more exciting about it is that I’m on board for the rewrite and I had chance to talk to Derek on the phone directly for a consulting session which might have played its little part in the decision to go with rails. Come monday I’ll work together with him and other rails contributor Jeremy Kemper to help crunch those 90k lines of PHP in beautifully compact code for which Rails and Ruby are known. Here is a quote from Derek’s announcement on his weblog: Like a lost soul walkin’ the earth, lookin’ for spirituality, that stumbles upon the right church with the right people at the right time, I’ve found my niche with Ruby. Its little itty-bitty community attracts some brilliant “think different” types with a love for beautiful code that do this for love, not money.

Lately I did quite a bit of rails consulting, usually over the phone while sharing the desktop one way or another. This kind of service has been so well received that I decided to formally advertise it.

If you are just starting out using rails, you are stuck doing something tricky or you need to convince your co-workers to use rails and want to prepare for answering their questions have a look into what I have to say at leetsoft.com.

“After spending 2 hours with Tobi, I feel like Neo in The Matrix after his session with the computerized training simulator: “Whoa, I know Rails!”
Tobi is friendly, patient, and has a deep knowledge of Rails. He also has a gift for transmitting this knowledge in easily-understood terms. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone wishing to accelerate their Rails learning.”
