Ruby on Rails Training in Leeds, Yorkshire

From Wednesday 26th October to Friday 28th October I’ll be teaching the Ruby on Rails Foundations course at the NTI Leeds.

In this 3 day course I cover how to build and deploy a fully tested web app written in Ruby on Rails® in the latest stable version of Rails; Rails 3.

Not only will you take away with you a deeper understanding of Ruby on Rails but you’ll also take away tools and techniques needed to enhance your development life even on non-Rails projects.

This course takes you from  the fundamentals to using Rails in a variety of professional environments.

Delegates will be introduced to the Cucumber testing framework.

The course’s normal price is £700, but for businesses in Yorkshire and the Humber you can apply for 50% funding as part of the Yorkshire Forward and European Social Fund. 3 days of training for £350! Bargain! 

But the funding ends at the end of November, so this will be the only opportunity to get the course for £350, so make haste and book here: http://www.ntileeds.co.uk/course/ruby-and-rails-i-foundations/

Download Music Chart - Pre-Alpha Release

I am pleased to announce that I have released Download Music Chart. Download Music Chart tracks the daily chart information of the UK music downloads on iTunes.

It’s currently in pre-alpha phase of development.

Click on a song title to get a graph of the weekly rankings for that song.

Chart information gets collected at 23:55 every day. 31st May was the first day where information was collected.

Expect to see alterations to the site on a very frequent basis.
