Evolution: A Weblog by Third North Creative

Here at Third North the line between web designer and web programmer continues to blur. As a company we have made the leap from PHP to Ruby on Rails, much to the delight of Mike… and while he transitions between programming languages with relative ease and grace, I usually end up stumbling around for a bit (as most creatives do when they venture into the world of logic).

Kevin Clark, author of the weblog Gluttonous, has posted a fantastic introductory guide to Rails aptly titled Rails for Designers, which I have referenced back to a handful of times while getting my feet wet in the new language. The post summarizes the key concepts of RoR for designers including: MVC, URLs, and the basics of RHTML. All of which are essential to successfully designing and working with a Rails application.
