[LRUG] Jumping ship to ruby

[Louis Goff-Beardsley]

>From a recruitment perspective even if you are pretty skilled in other
languages, it's difficult to land a job until you have reached a level where
you can provide active value to a business. However if you study Rails in
your own time to the point where you feel you could demonstrate a functional
level of ability in a live interview context there are quite a range of
opportunities out there. Also focusing your learning around projects you can
display publicly on Github etc will help you out later because it will work
alongside your CV.

 

Best, Louis

"Louis found my dream job for me. He took a lot of time to get to know me
and what I was looking for. He's obviously got a lot of connections and was
able to offer me a variety of roles. Louis actually knows what he's talking
about when it comes to Ruby-on-Rails, which is pretty much unique for a
recruiter. He gave me advice on what course of action is best for me, helped
me rewrite my CV as I was underselling myself and prepared me for my
interviews. Highly recommended!"  <http://uk.linkedin.com/in/louisbeardsley>

Subject: [LRUG] Jumping ship to ruby

 

Hello all
I've been a software developer for a few years now, picked up and master OOP
and DDD, worked with model-view-controller frameworks and know more than a
thing or two about web development.
I've been recently picking up ruby at home and am really impressed with the
language and the echo system. I was wondering what people think of the
possibility for a developer like me, with experience with statically typed
languages, to become a ruby developer? How realistic can this move be?
Would appreciate any response!

regards
d.f.
