In his book The Passionate Programmer, Chad Fowler talks about the importance of reflecting upon the activities of the day to ensure that you are taking good strides to your goal. Following that advice, I have started keeping a private journal on OhLife. However, as I am starting Ruby Mendicant University, I wanted to have a place to reflect on my progress as I go through the course. I hope to continue to use this spot to report my progress with learning Ruby and other related technologies. Wish me luck!
