The year 2006 was very different for me. It’s one of the ultimate years in my life. 2006 was a turning point year of my life too. Lots of things happened. It’s difficult to write about all the nice things.
Mainly
I graduated to become a Bachelor of Computer Engineering from Pune University.
I did my final year BE project sponsored by Patni Computers, Pune.
I will never forget Satish Sir for his invaluable help and guidance.
I found Ruby and Ruby on Rails.
I got my first job.
I worked on first live project.
I got chance to work with great people, specially Shashank Sir.
We bought a house in Pune(previously we were living in Govt quarters).
My final academic year 2005-2006 was fastest and busiest year in my whole life, but after that year 2006 was comparatively relaxed and enthusiastic.
Now I am more happy welcoming 2007 as I am working on building the next big thing in MangoSpring with my favorite programming language and technology.
Happy New Year 2007!
I am waiting for Guru as music is given by Rahman and directed by Maniratnam.
Checking Ruby syntax coloring.
require ‘rubygems‘require ‘hpricot‘require ‘open-uri‘
doc = Hpricot(open(”index.rdf“))
doc.search(”item“).each do |i| puts i.search(”link“).inner_html puts “\n\n“end
Cool!

I just came to my home after attending the fantastic BarCamp Pune 2. It was a very nice event again. All the talks were awesome. I liked the talk of Jon the most. His topic was “Architectures for scalable web applications in Ruby/Rails”. Second talk I liked was of Brajeshwar and Abdul from Nanocast. They demonstarted features of Nanocast, the next big thing! One talk which I wanted to attend but I missed is ‘Firewatir’ by Angrez Singh. Checkout BarCampPune2 wiki for more info!
I just checked and registered for Amazon’s new service UnSpun (unspun.amazon.com). It’s a rails application sitting on Amazon.com domain. Adam Selipsky from Amazon Web Services describes the UnSpun as
UnSpun helps you to find and create ranked lists by gathering votes from workers on Amazon Mechanical Turk and from the UnSpun community. We show the popular opinion, with no “spin” (hence the name)—along with links to websites with more information about the particular items on the list. If you don’t see the list you are looking for, simply create it and rankings will start populating within a few minutes. 2,294 ranked lists are already on UnSpun, holding 640,107 items, with more coming in all the time.
I really liked this web application. Do see for Best Programming Language. Ruby has got 9822 votes and Java 1044 votes. Ruby is the most popular under Best Programming Language. I hope Ruby to be there always. I am sure that Amazon’s UnSpun will be more popular in coming days.
Top reasons are it’s a new concept, it’s having only those things which are necessary, good, intuitive GUI, it’s social, it’s built on Ruby on Rails, Powered by amazon.
It’s really nice to see that high-profile companies have started using Ruby on Rails for various new projects.
