About mostlybadfly

Stumbled upon this community and realized that a lot of the people currently do and know what I want to do an know, so I joined.

Currently learning ruby/rails and whatever else that comes along with it. It has been a fascinating journey so far and have already found myself going to bed late trying to fix something.

I'm learning by building a recipe app that I can use and maybe others will find interesting as well. I post updates at http://www.recetera.com

I love to cook at home and share my food adventures at http://www.comalcaliente.com

    I would love to check out the Punch Ball version. The original Mario Bros. game was very fun to me. It was so simple looking yet the gameplay was great and I found myself challengi…

    If you're saying programmer I'm assuming there is already this level of experience, but I went ahead and made my own blog set up. This was mostly really to learn Rails. Even though…

    good to know, a bit of the insecurity I've had comes from seeing people who have been doing some of things since what seems like forever. Good to know there is still hope!
