I started Hartl's Rails Tutorial. I was originally just going to do the free online book, but saw a deal for the ebook, solution manual and all the screencasts for $49 so I got that. I started it on Thursday. I am on Chapter 2 working on the second app project in the book, a simple microblogging site. Work on the book may slow down considerably as I found a full-time internship!
I accepted an internship position in Amsterdam for Ruby on Rails. First 3 months are internship, then regular employee after that. It's going to be an adjustment commuting to A'dam every day (1.5hr each way). Hoping I can use the commute to study Dutch. Mondays are going to be the roughest day since I have Dutch class at night. Will be a long day for me and the dogs at home. I'm most worried about the dogs adjusting again to me being away from home during the day for such a long time. Hopefully they will adjust quickly and not bark during the day.
I'm excited for the future.
