Tips by Avdi Grimm on how to “level up” as a programmer.

I’m honored to speak at Conferencia Rails 2011. I’ll be talking about Rails for mobile devices.

I hope to see you there!

This year I participated again in the RailsRumble competition together with Daniel Hernández and Carlos Hernández.

Our submission SaaSmetrics is a web application with a REST API to monitor the financial health and key metrics of your subscription based business. We based the metrics and calculations on the post “How to Track Six Key Metrics for Your Web App” by Ryan Carson.

Overall it was en extremely tiring but awesome experience and I’m sure I’ll participate again in the next editions.

I still haven’t had the chance to look at all submissions but these are some of the projects that I have found interesting or neat:

• Commendable Kids: Commendable Kids offers a unique way to encourage kids for all age groups to participate in doing tasks to collect badges.
• IM Gateway: Instant Message integration for your web application.
• Awesome Fontstacks: Easily create bundles of beautifully matching, free web fonts, with failsafe font stacks to back them up. Including ready-to-go CSS code!
• Mittun: manage events, including recurring events, location management, calendar, Google map integration and more
• Boarrd: Boarrd is a hosted, higly customizable, do-it-yourself status board giving you a quick & fancy look at all the indicators that matter to you.
• Workrz: Workrz lets you manage & connect to all of your casual employees in one super easy-to-use place.
• Call4Paperz: This app aims to help with conference organization, call for papers, voting on speakers and the basics, like collecting feedback from crowd, schedule planning, etc. A must for local dev groups.
• Let’s give this: Group gifts, simplified.
• Splendid Bacon: Project management for hackers.
• Care of Me: Create reminders for the people you take care of. They will receive phone calls with your message.
• Good in your Hood: Goodinyourhood invites you to do good in your own community. You can do this by committing to small causes. Like saying hi to your neighbor. Easy, right?

• and many others…
