Learning Ruby on Rails

I’ve been learning Ruby on Rails lately.  I’m getting to know the basics and am able to do quite a bit.  It has really helped me understand programming in general a lot more.  At work there is so much going on that I more or less jumped in to try and help get some applications going quicker that were thrown on the back-burner.  I still have a ton to learn but it has really helped me appreciate all that programmers do.  In the process I have really been burned out by the time I get home end of day.

I’m trying to find the happy medium of design and development.  I am a designer by mind and by talent but I’ve really dug much deeper in development lately.  I sometimes feel as though I have to choose one or the other.  I think Ruby on Rails is simple enough that I’m still able to feel a bit more creative and still able to keep some of my designer edge.

I have plans to create a few of my own applications but it may be awhile until my ideas come together.  The more I research all the different applications out there, the more I realize how important the UI design is.  Wish me luck on my apps.
