Comments on: APR: First Prototype Almost Done http://tynerblain.com/blog/2007/05/04/apr-prototype-feedback/ Software product success.

As a quick update - deployment is exceptionally painful. I've been developing with rails 1.2.3/ruby 1.8.6, but my host has rails 1.1.6/ruby 1.8.4. I'm trying to roll back my local version now and refactor the code (some stuff is not supported in 1.1.6) so I can attempt to redeploy. In short - I can deploy changes to the server, but can't 1) force creation of the production db 2) get the app to run in production mode in a nutshell, doesn't start. still working on it - was late into the night last night, and may spend tomorrow on it too. cross your fingers for me - i've been having issues that aren't "googleable" (effectively), so maybe getting a matched environment with my host will help.

In short – I can deploy changes to the server, but can’t
1) force creation of the production db
2) get the app to run in production mode

in a nutshell, doesn’t start.

still working on it – was late into the night last night, and may spend tomorrow on it too. cross your fingers for me – i’ve been having issues that aren’t “googleable” (effectively), so maybe getting a matched environment with my host will help.

If there's still acccounts left, set me up as jefflash. Thanks! Hi Scott — I’ve been following this project with great interest and would be really interested in looking at the prototype.

I haven't been tracking specifically, but over the past two weeks, it is somewhere around 80 hours. Half of that time has been trying to learn ruby and rails - mostly reading books and web articles / forums. I'm finally starting to develop some efficiency on the coding front - for a while it was "have idea. read for an hour. write one line of code. repeat." Still very slow, but less slow than 4 days ago. I really want to get the prototype out there so I can get feedback and iterate. So that keeps me moving as fast as I can (but makes the time spent in pure learning mode feel "expensive").

There's a bug in that it takes you to a login page, and after you log in you get an error (when it attempts to record your rating). If you go back to the main page of the site, you are logged in at this point. Won't make any changes to the prototype for this piece.
