Hi,  
I’ve seen a few Brazilian faces around here… I’d like to hear from  
you, to see how many of us are there on the list, what each is up to,  
and ask about any brazilian rails communities and resources you may  
know about…

I’m a developer based in São Paulo, and have recently switched to  
rails for all my current and future projects. Previously I worked with  
PHP.

So far I’ve come across two brazilian sites about rails

> **[Ruby on Rails](https://rubyonrails.org/)**
>
> A web-app framework that includes everything needed to create database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern.

[http://rails.jkcosta.info/](http://rails.jkcosta.info/) (just announced here at the list, with  
tutorials in portuguese)

and I don’t know about any mailing lists or IRC channels. if there are  
none and enough people are interested, I’d be interested in starting  
one of each.

- Oliver

Hello Oliver  
My name is Carlos Okada. I’m owner of Trifax Tecnologia, a small  
development  
company in Curitiba. We currently develop in .NET/C# (using a internal  
developed Web framework). I am trying Rails in some small projects right  
now  
and I plan to adopt it as our main development plataform.

Okada.

One more Brazilian here, there’s some time by now I’m using Ruby for  
some stuff and just this week I’m installing Rails and trying it, after  
study a lot about the language. 🙂

I’m on SÃ£o JosÃ© do Rio Preto, SP.

If you need some Portuguese tutorial about Ruby itself, not Rails, you  
can try mine at:

> **[Home - Beings](https://beings.com)**

And there is a #ruby-br channel on [freenode.org](http://freenode.org) and a rubyisfun group on  
[Yahoo | Mail, Weather, Search, Politics, News, Finance, Sports & Videos](http://br.groups.yahoo.com/group/rubyisfun/), but they are too quiet. 🙂

Hello EustÃ¡quio,  
I just found this google group, which has been hibernating since  
february 🙂

[http://groups.google.com/group/rails-br/about](http://groups.google.com/group/rails-br/about)

but I bet (err… hope) that in time it’ll pick up more activity

Hi Carlos,  
nice! it’s good to hear of companies doing a full switch to rails down  
here.  
I’ve created a wiki entry for a listing of companies and developers  
using rails in brazil at the rubyonrails.com.br site, perhaps you’d be  
interested in adding Trifax to it?:
