I live in Phoenix and I am a Ruby on Rails programmer working with Rebel Outpost, LLC.

I started programming with Python and Geoprocessing.  I used both for hobby as well as work.  I have used Python for geoprocessing in ArcToolbox in addition to wxPython for stand-alone GUI‘s.

Since then, I got into Ruby on Rails for web applications.  I did look into Django but I found it too difficult to learn.  I continued to learn RoR as a hobby until the opportunity came along for me to leave the big bad corporate world and become a RoR developer full time.

My blog started as a help for Python and geoprocessing and has since morphed to cover many other topics.  Sometimes my posts are informational and sometimes they are just my opinions.
