Re: Ruby Project Ideas to get someone hired...
Thanks for the input Panagiotis. When I figure out how to use Github, I will definitely use it more. The only problem with the theory of "something useful" vs. "something for the sake of doing it" is that to do useful things is incredibly difficult for someone who can't run the simplest ROR example application after so many tutorials and walk through videos which teach me nothing. One thing about joining a project is that I have no idea what others are doing. Checked out Gnome, Mozilla, etc. and again after hours of reading found nothing that would actually help me start doing something useful as a beginner (yes I'm on the Gnome beginner list). Coding has never been my problem. I can probably code in any language easy enough (logic is logic). It's integrating thousands of libraries, packages, dll's, plugins, environment b.s., etc. with my code and deploying it that seems impossible to me at this point. If I ever found someone who could explain what is necessary to deploy a ROR app - meaning no assumptions about requirements - and it actually worked on my computer, I would probably just die of shock. (Lynda.com's walk through of rails doesn't work, the tutorials on the main rails site doesn't work, etc.) I recently followed Google's tutorial on how to make a simple ruby script to create a file on Drive (literally copy/paste .rb code, a couple gem installs). Didn't work. Tried for almost 2 hours to figure it out then gave up. Same old story time and time again. The only thing that does work is running standalone ruby file, or the Gosu package mentioned earlier in thread. Maybe after switching to Linux, some problems will go away.
