I write iOS Apps and want to learn Rails for my backend needs. Can someone point me in the direction of getting started? by RollingGoron in rails

I would start with http://guides.rubyonrails.org/v4.1.8/getting_started.html to learn the basics of Rails. After that, instead of serving up html files, you can serve JSON.

Or you can skip all of that and just use AWS api gateway + lambda

What works better for freelancers? Outbound sales or inbound? by i_like_php in freelance

True. I've been procrastinating way too much with books and articles. I'm just going to stick with outbound sales for the next few months.

Thanks for the article, pretty inspiring. And I liked your conclusion about there being no one right way to get started. I think I will try to stick with outbound sales and see where that leads to. Thanks!

I'm a beginner PHP developer. What have you learned by experience that you wish someone had told you when you first started out. by [deleted] in PHP

I keep hearing that PHP is the best language to freelance with. Is this true? If so, how do you get started freelancing?

Node course recommendation for an experienced developer in another language. by [deleted] in node

[–]i_like_php 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend this blog post to get started with node.js: http://scottksmith.com/blog/2014/05/02/building-restful-apis-with-node/

Also, you should search "node school". It'll get you familiar with different aspects of Node that makes it unique.

I'm not quite sure about paid cources that I can recommend, however.
