| # Sick of using Hashes or Hashie::Mash objects when working with API responses? | |
| # Yeah, me too. | |
| # Let's use Virtus to make some nice objects that work like we'd expect. | |
| # For more checkout: https://github.com/solnic/virtus | |
| # Given we get some JSON back from an API like this | |

This is a quick tutorial explaining how to get a static website hosted on Heroku.
Why do this?
Heroku hosts apps on the internet, not static websites. To get it to run your static portfolio, personal blog, etc., you need to trick Heroku into thinking your website is a PHP app. This 6-step tutorial will teach you how.

| cmd = "pg_dump --host #{host} --username #{user} --verbose --clean --no-owner --no-acl --format=c #{db} > #{Rails.root}/db/#{app}.dump" | |
| end | |
| puts cmd |

When hiring Ruby on Rails programmers, knowing the right questions to ask during an interview was a real challenge for me at first. In 30 minutes or less, it's difficult to get a solid read on a candidate's skill set without looking at code they've previously written. And in the corporate/enterprise world, I often don't have access to their previous work.
To ensure we hired competent ruby developers at my last job, I created a list of 15 ruby questions -- a ruby measuring stick if you will -- to select the cream of the crop that walked through our doors.
Candidates will typically give you a range of responses based on their experience and personality. So it's up to you to decide the correctness of their answer.
| # Create Fibonnaci Array | |
| a = [1,2] | |
| upto = 4_000_000 | |
| while a[-2] + a[-1] < upto | |
| a << a[-2] + a[-1] | |
| end | |
| # Create sum of even Fibonnaci numbers | |
| sum = 0 | |
| a.each { |x| sum+= x if x.even? } |
