In order to learn and play with Ruby on Rails, I’m building a movie site where people will be able to talk about the movies they’ve seen and want to see, find others who like the same kind of movies they do, discuss movies with friends, and write reviews.
I anticipate this site is going to take me 6 to 9 months to build. I have several factors working against me:
- I have never built a web site in Ruby – on or off Rails
- I have a daughter, Addison, on the way in 7 weeks
- My job keeps me hella busy already so my free time is usually spent doing something around the house
On the other hand, I kick ass so this probably won’t be bad at all.
