[LRUG] [Job] Javascript developer with some Ruby

[Matthew Willson]

Dear all,

Apologies for the slightly OT nature of this--although we're very much  
into Ruby as a company (and using it for our back-end), the main  
responsibility here would be on the Javascript side of things.

Still, I thought it might interest some here, as you'd doubtless get  
to be involved with some scripting and back-end ruby work too, and the  
approach we're taking on this project may be of interest to any  
railsy / web 2.0 sorts who've been pushing the envelope with rich web  
app development. This isn't a vanilla client-side web design-ey job,  
but real object-oriented UI development that just happens to be in  
Javascript.

So yeah, if any of the following appeal (or you know anyone to whom it  
might appeal), do drop me a line!

   * Music, and building rich music apps for ISPs
   * Thick client, browser-centric user interface development in  
Javascript (think Sproutcore and ObjectiveJ/Cappucino, although we're  
leaning towards using Dojo toolkit for its greater stability/maturity/ 
flexibility)
   * REST-based APIs. In particular writing client-side model code  
against them, but also the server-side Ruby component (at present  
we're using merb and sequel ontop of MySQL)
   * COMET and live chat
   * Testing, especially on the client-side (if you've played with  
Selenium or any other client-side test harnesses, and can help us get  
a cross-browser continuous integration testing environment up and  
running, that would be awesome)
