I’m happy to announce that I have launched a new business project with my partners.

This is a Ruby on Rails outsourcing software development office named Railsware.

This development office provides services for Web 2.0 startups that would like to benefit from using edge web technologies, such as Ruby on Rails, AJAX and Flex.

We have an effective team of 5 people running this project and we’re still actively hiring new people in order to complete every project requested.

We’re located in Kyiv, Ukraine and you know that Ukraine is one of the top outsourcing destinations.

We have developers both in our ergonomic office and out of the office, so we are utilizing each developer in a way he likes to work. We prefer to let our developers feel comfortable.

Let me introduce my partner, Andrey. He is a top manager of this project.

We’re already running a few projects development and you’re welcome to outsource your development to us. We strictly encourage signing NDA to protect your intellectual property assets.

Feel free to drop a line to contact@railsware.com for additional information or a free quote.

This autumn I plan to launch one of my projects, Frontcamp. I don’t want to disclose much details of it right now, but I can say that it is a CMS for those who enjoy Basecamp.

If you’re interested to participate in a private beta launch soon, consider to register for launch notifications. If you want to be sure that you’ll be invited, consider dropping a short message to my e-mail:

Thank you in advance and let’s do interesting things!

If you need some very simple settings for your RoR model, that are stored in a serialized field, you can try my very simple solution

Basically, it sucks. But it works for simple needs. All you need is to write something like

 has_settings :login, :password, :etc

And, yeah, you need to add_column :settings. :text. Of course, I could improve my solution to let it store settings in a separate table, but I was too lazy today.
