Ruby on Rails Outsourcing

After almost a year, our office with an area of about 1100 square feet, is getting very crowded.

There are 11 people working there, and the shared internet has gotten pretty slow.

Today, we officially move to a new, much better office in south Bandung!

With an area of about 3500 square feet, nicer neighborhood, we just love this new place!
Moreover, we subscribe to two internet providers to get more bandwidth!

This new office will definitely boost our productivity and comfort for our engineers. Yay!

A client of us requires line-by-line code checking (literally), and not just code that works; it must be clean.

Their standard is very high. To match their standard (which we believe not impossible to achieve), starting today we will do regular training to each and everyone of our engineers.

Before each training, participants must read ahead the topics to be discussed. We will discuss the topics from these books first: Test Driven Development by Kent Beck, the Programming Ruby book, and Agile web development with Rails

I believe practice alone is not sufficient without strong theoretical foundation. That is why reading Rails books and beyond is VERY important.

I was introduced to Trac about half a year ago, very nice and helpful!

Trac is not the only one project management tool out there of course, but I think it’s one of the best.

But setting it up (including the SVN integration) could be difficult. Especially on a shared hosting.

I came across this site, SVN Repository. It gives you unlimited Trac (and SVN) instances for only $6.95 a month. Very beneficial indeed! I can now give my clients who didnt have project management tool, a Trac each!
