Jaime Iniesta

Freelance Ruby on Rails developer.

I'm an independent web developer currently living in Girona, Spain, and working at ProRuby.

I've been developing applications for 10 years now, the last 6 of them as a freelance.

I work with Rails since 2005. I'm a co-founder of the Spanish Ruby Users Group, member of Spain.rb, and organizer of Conferencia Rails and EuRuKo 2009.

I'm a Ruby on Rails contributor.

I also have experience as college professor and as speaker at Ruby (and Ruby on Rails) conferences.

If you would like to hire me, please contact me at jaimeiniesta@gmail.com.

    Having fun with 37signals Draft

    Draft, the first 37signals app for the iPad lets you draw quick sketches and wireframes, using only your fingers. It's great, you only have two inks, white and red, and an eraser. Why more?

    You can also send your drawings to Campfire or by email. This is a great tool to quickly express your ideas, and I find that it's also very relaxing, just sit on the sofa and draw like a kid!

    There goes my first piece of art. This is the Guy With The Curved Scrollbar Hat:

    And, here's my second masterpiece, the Bloody Mosquito:

    Even my 5 months old son has been able to make a great piece of abstract work. :P

    If you're not on an iPad you can try a clone of this app that runs on a browser. It's really great, offers you 4 inks (although maybe with 2 is enough), but lacks an eraser (which could be easily implemented with a black ink as does 37signals).

    But of course, drawing with your fingers is so much better than with a mouse. Go try Draft on an iPad!

    hashtag_retweet_bot

    hashtag_retweet_bot is a ruby bot that retweets all twits tagged by a certain hashtag. It's ideal for conferences, meetup groups, communities, etc.

    As an example, let's say you want to retweet every twit found with the hashtag #icecream every 5 minutes (300 seconds). This ruby gem will let you do it as easily as running:

    hashtag_retweet_bot icecream 300

    This bot was born as a little script for the Scotland On Rails 2008 conference. We saw it in action there and as it was nice and useful, so we forked it to adapt it to our needs at the EuRuKo 2009 conference.

    This year, Tomasz Stachewicz from the EuRuKo 2010 has adapted and modernized it so that it works with Bundler, OAuth, native RT and some other improvements.

    We can expect the EuRuKo 2011 will go ahead and improve it for the next year :)

    The Agile Samurai

    I've just finished reading The Agile Samurai (better said, the first 17 chapters that have been written as this book is still on beta), and I would like to share it with you as I think it's a nice book to read.

    To be honest, I expected a bit more from a book with such a strong title, but I see that this book was intented for people who want to get a general idea of what the Agile developing world is like.

    So, if you're already into Agile lands, you'll surely find it a fun book to read but it won't teach you anything you didn't already know; if you're new into Agile, it will show you a whole new land. You should definitely read it in this case.

    This book covers topics like project inception, planning, creating agile teams, comunication, story cards, burn-down charts, test-driven development, and more.
