I picked up a Rails book on a whim over my Christmas vacation, and  
started  
playing around. I’ve been a web developer for closing in on ten years  
now,  
and while I’ve used a few different platforms and languages, I’ve always  
been curious about Ruby on Rails- especially after I .NET developer I  
used  
to work with raved about it.

I’m also going through and putting some of my major impressions in a  
blog-  
[coldrails.blogspot.com](http://coldrails.blogspot.com) [http://coldrails.blogspot.com%20](http://coldrails.blogspot.com%20)

I’ve only had the book- Agile Web D. With Rails- for a few  
days,  
and I just put the blog up this evening, so things are a little rough  
yet.  
I’m liking Rails so far- I’m just taking it a little slow, partially so  
I  
can compare what I’m reading with the way I’ve seen things done in other  
languages/frameworks, and partially because I ran out of vacation time,  
so  
it’s back to the Job-and-Family routine.

But I’d appreciate anyone dropping in and taking a look.
