Rails 3 is just around the corner. It is optimized for the better performance and superior features of Ruby 1.9, but it also plays nicely with version 1.8.7. Ruby 1.8.6, on the other hand, cannot run Rails 3. This might not be a problem for you at all. If you are on a Mac, you [...]
Hello, I'm Casper Fabricius. I have developed for the web for 10 years, and have been enjoying Ruby on Rails for the past 5.
My experience covers communities, shopping solutions, multi-language sites, heavy back-end lifting and a wide selection of more traditional websites. I like to integrate Ruby with Java and .NET through JRuby and IronRuby when it makes sense. I am passionate about test- and behavior-driven development, but at the same time I am pragmatic and believe in getting things done.
I live in Copenhagen, Denmark, where I work for a fantastic company: Podio. I do not currently take on freelance assignments.
