Ruby on Rails - where can beginners get experience? / To find a job?

Question

ruby

Goodnight! Relatively recently, I began to study Rails 3, as a rule, I have little experience, and I need more practice, practice, practice, and preferably in real projects, I came up with a small startup (todo list) for myself, and so far I am training on it (asgard.heroku.com). And actually the question is in the title ... maybe someone knows where to find something like an exchange of open source projects, startups, a part-time job for beginners ... in general, something like that? Thanks for answers!

Answer 1

In the West, it is recommended to do this:
1) Create a profile on github
2) Start maintaining a developer blog
3a) Start writing your bike by publishing sources in github
3b) Join an existing project
Well, then, look for a job through twitter / linkedin / something else. As noted above, RoR is not very popular on freelance exchanges. Most companies that use RoR post vacancies on their website.

Answer 2

My answer will not be of practical use, but it may support your undertaking. Don't listen to anyone. Improve your professional level and level of English. If you are a good developer (in general, and not just a “RoR programmer”, then you won’t be left without a job, no matter what language you write in.
And how exactly, you’ve already written above - open source projects are a good option. Also, don’t forget that all these projects are written by people who work somewhere, so there is not a zero chance of being noticed by one of the developers.

Answer 3

Nowhere. RoR is almost not in demand. In my life, I have seen an application for RoR only from a state-owned company in order to limit the number of participants in the state tender.
If you want to be in demand, then drop this crap and do java or c#. You can ask job.ru if you don't believe me.
