Init

I'm starting a brand new project and rediscovering Rails along the way. There have been many changes since I last touched Rails (2.1), so I'll attempt to document my path as I relearn everything again.

My goal is to learn as much as I can about all the new technologies and ideas that have exploded onto the scene recently including

• BDD (Behaviour Driven Development)
• NoSQL
• Cloud Computing
• Distributed Revision Control
• CSS frameworks
• A/B Testing
• Continuous Integration
• Continuous Deployment
• Lean Startup
• MVP (Minimum Viable Product)
• Customer Development
• 5 Whys

Currently, I'm thinking my stack will be

• Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx
• Dropbox
• GEdit with plugins
• RVM for installing Ruby
• Rails 3
• MongoDB
• Mongoid
• RSpec
• Cucumber
• Jasmine
• MooTools
• Git
• Heroku

Things I might consider

• Vim
• Pivotal Tracker
• LESS CSS
• Less Framework
• A/Bingo, Vanity

The browsers I will support

• Chrome
• Firefox
• Safari
• Opera
• IE7+
