James Golick’s Summary

James Golick's experience ranges from artificial intelligence to web front-end / javascript development. Most recently, James has fallen back in love with web development due to a great new framework called Ruby on Rails. Since discovering rails just over a year ago, he has become a prolific contributor to its open source ecosystem, as the author of several well-used plugins, and gems, and contributor to countless others, including the framework itself. James is an advocate for well-written, well-tested software. For more of James's opinions on software development, and open source projects, check out his blog at jamesgolick.com.
