Rails development on Windows #

Developing Rails applications on windows has always been a pain. It’s simple enough to install ruby and the need gems to get a basic Rails application started, but in time developers will run into problems. A lot of gem work fine in a windows environment, but some do not compile down correctly and this is the main issue with developing on Windows. For this reason many people who need to work on Rails applications are running their development environment on OSX or Linux, including me. With Windows WSL I decided to see if I can get a working, acceptable development environment on a Windows computer. After some trial and error (plus some help from google) it’s pretty good.

Hello, World! #

My name is Andrew Rady and I am currently a front end developer at Ritter Insurance Marketing working with Vue. I have been writing some blog post on our company blog at rimdev.io, but I wanted to start a personal one. On rimdev.io most of my articles are around vue since that is what I work on mostly, but I want to be able to share some of my experiences from side projects. I am person who doesn’t write a lot so a personal goal of 2019 is to get better, and the best way to improve on something is to do it.
