Keeping with my trend of welcoming new people many weeks after they are new people, I’d like to welcome Ana Schmitz to CRT.
Ana joins us as our new Communications Associate. However, she’s been with NAR for over 10 years, most recently in our marketing dept. We’re happy and lucky to have her with us. In just two weeks she’s already jumped into all of her major job responsibilities as fast as we could throw them at her.
Ana is looking to learn more about technology in general and would like to be a rock-star programmer. For some reason, she thinks she can learn that stuff in CRT. She’s already been doing self-study on Java, and for a project we need done, she’ll be learning PHP. As a welcoming present in our comments, please feel free to leave her other technologies she should look at.
Congrats to Ana on the position! Javascript and PHP both work incredibly well. PHP generally is less interactive for the user
because a new page must be loaded for any funtion to be run with user generated input.
If she’s looking at the long run, she should seriously consider Ruby on Rails. It allows you to create database driven websites with only a few commands (4 is least amount I believe). User authorization can be added with just 1 line pointing to a user list. Rails uses the ruby language for scripting, and you can use ruby code anywhere within a webpage. You can even do loops with html code in the middle.
Brent,
As I’ve become a big fan of Ruby itself (haven’t done much with Rails yet) she’ll definitely get exposed to that.
Hello, Brent,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! I’m excited to be part of the CRT team, and will definitely keep Ruby on Rails on my “radar.”
