David Heinemeier Hansson, a partner in 37signals, has been working with the Net with varying levels of success since 1996 - in the fields of game journalism, marketing, project management, design, and development. In July 2004, he released the framework Rails (also known as Ruby on Rails) and has been managing that as an open-source movement ever since. He is one of the software luminaries on the faculty of SYS-CON's "Real-World AJAX" Seminar, a faculty that also includes the Father of the "term" AJAX, Jesse James Garrett (http://www.ajaxworld.com).

In the wake of open source, traditional hiring practices seem like an unnecessarily risky way to hire new employees, especially for small teams where each hire can make it or break it. Why bet the composition of your collective on abstract indicators, hearsay, and a biased bio?
I took the advice of a friend of mine and steered clear of the 'normal' movie theaters and went a little out of the way to go to a DLP movie theater. The experience ...
Canonical CEO Mark Shuttleworth has been telling Reuters that Sun is in the process of certifying Ubuntu on some of its low-end and mid-size hardware. The code it's ...
I installed Ubuntu on the Toshiba laptop. Ubuntu installed in 15 minutes - 49 for Windows XP and 125 for Windows Vista. Ubuntu's desktop came right up. I opened the ...
