Hello. I am working, unsuccessfully, to complete a small and simple  
Warranty registration and warranty claims database application for our  
product line.

I have clearance from my superior to hire for ~ 20 hours of work someone  
who is a Rails guru to assist me in this creation. I should clarify  
that, this person would be using me to help them define the requirements  
and I would be tagging along to use this persons knowledge to help bring  
me up to speed on Rails in the process.

I would be willing to come to the Milwaukee or Chicago area to spend a  
few days working with you on this project / lesson. Denver or New York  
is not out of the question either for the right candidate.

The person would have to have an understanding of polymorphic  
relationships and their use when setting up simple model, views and  
controllers. If you can’t bang something out quickly like this, need  
not apply. The interface does not have to be pretty, it’s more  
important that I gain an understanding of this process so that I can  
extend the application in the future.

I will be paying hourly for this service and would like to reserve a 20  
hour time block over the period of 2 days. The hourly rate is  
negotiable, for the right person we would be willing to pay well.

Think of this as a personal tutor with a pre-defined sample lesson. 🙂  
It would be a fun few days for some easy money for the right person.  
I’m easy going and a fairly quick study.

Please send me an email if you’re interested. Provide links to Rails  
work you’ve done in the past and a short paragraph on why you think you  
would be a good tutor for me. I will also answer any questions you may  
have.

I’m reading this over and I think this sounds like a strange request.  
🙂

You probably want my email… _sigh_.
