They are from Ukraine

Today I saw this ad: It's about java cloud hosting service called Jelastic. This could be just another ad or just a few lines in some IT tech blog, but for those Ukrainians who knows what's about is this, this's a great news, because it's Ukrainian service and we could proud of it. Why I just wrote this? I wrote, because in Ukraine are many tech companies, and we've a lot of smart programmers, but almost all these companies doing only outsourcing, it's not a product companies. But still we've some people, who earn money not only for coding for someones, but who making a good projects! We need more guys like from Jelastic

Autumn, new season

Hi there! In my not so big experience in web programming I saw a lot of programming languages and frameworks, but can't stop at something one. I did some little projects in django, little bit rails and some php based frameworks but I didn't choose any of them for myself, it was only first look, that's all. But recently I decided that I must choose one. I've more exp with django and that's why I download it first, but in that moment I hadn't any that fun which everyone must feel with his work with technology. So, where my way was? I didn't want even to give a chance to php, that's why I decided to look more closely at rails Why I took rails? First of all I must tell that I don't have much experience to compare rails and something else and this post is not about some technical staff, it's just about my choice, but I only wanted to try something completely new - new language and new framework. For now I want tell about my ruby and rails installation experience. I use Ubuntu 11.04 in VMware, it's for the record, I installed ruby without any problem, just typed sudo apt-get and so on, ruby was installed, now Rails, and here I had difficulties in process. Appeared that I don't have a JS runtime! Will don't tell details how, but then I installed a node.js runtime, after that manipulation Rails began to work! Without problems I run rake db:create and other commands. I must consider, that I haven't anything like that when I installed Django! But I don't take this as a minus of Rails, I still like as language as framework! Hope my English was not so bad, and you could read all this stuff :)
