It’s wonderful (and frustrating) that I can look back at my first project and realize all the things I did wrong. The good part about that is a lot of the first-time mistakes I made are easily fixed. I’m pretty sure I’ll be saying the same thing about my current project once I’ve moved on to the next.

While I’ve come a long way, I still feel I need some proper training so I can really get into the deeper stuff with Rails. While I’m sure I can do pretty much anything I need to, and anything my job requires, I’d really like to grow my skills so I can start REALLY using it. I’d love nothing more than to let a client know we can go above and beyond for them, and really make their interactive shine.

login: &login
adapter: sqlite3
username: username
password: password

development:
<<: *login
database: app_dev

test:
<<: *login
database: app_test

production:
<<: *login
database: app_prod

If you’re connecting via mysql, it’s a similar setup.

login: &login
adapter: mysql
username: username
password: password
host: mysql host

development:
<<: *login
database: app_dev

test:
<<: *login
database: app_test

production:
<<: *login
database: app_prod

This is just the push I’ve needed to move away from playing with Rails as kind of a hobby, and really start getting serious with it.
