Hello there HN! My name is Carl and I am new to programming. At the moment I am learning Ruby and Rails and look forward to being a part of the HN community.

I come from a Finance background and currently work at an advertising agency.

If you have any good Ruby or Rails learning tool recommendations please feel free to contact me at @carlsednaoui.

From my experience, I think Rails would be a good option. I myself am new to programming (been doing it for less than 3 months) and have found Rails to be relatively easy/ straight forward. Plus there is are so many ressources out there in case he would like to learn more.

Rails for Zombie could be a good starting point.

Side note, when I say I am new to programming, 3 months ago I barely knew what css ment - and have never taken a cs class.

"Join or create customized events..." could be aligned with the text above. Not sure I like the indentation between the title and paragraph - the difference in font weight ought to be enough, maybe?

Aside fron that, great overall design!

When will the USPTO put a stop on such BS patents, seriously! One day we will run out of colors, layouts and "business models" to patent... and then what?

Patents are meant to encourage entrepreneurship... not fund court rooms and judges' salaries.

Ha, I wish!

Currently working at an ad agency and learning how to program/ building my own project during nights and weekends.

Was wondering if you'd want to grab coffee or drinks in the upcoming weeks - would love to learn more about Roundtable and your experience thus far.

Congratulations - Posts like this are inspiring, I'll be working hard this weekend to finish my own project and launch early next week - will keep you updated.

Brilliant concept by the way!

I think that, given the web's evolution, you should assume that the whole world WILL see anything you so decide to put online. It's kind of sad to see that there is so such thing as online privacy.

Hi, I'm Carl. I am more of a non-technical guy (even though I am currently learning ROR), and would love to help with anything that has to do with logistics, marketing (including SEM and SEO), along with project management. Feel free to reach me at my profile's email.

As a new programmer (I started learning Ruby and ROR about a month ago), the added value of learning VIM has already been paying off. Adding a new learning element into the mix (in this case VIM) does take some time at first, but once you realize how much time you can save in the long run there is no turning back.
