I have acquired a new online web company that was programmed in Ruby on Rails and I am having a very difficult time finding anyone who writes or works with this language to fix some minor issues and add some major features. I live in the Boston area. Any ideas where I can start looking for a dependable and competent Ruby developer? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Jon

Hi Jon,

I have acquired a new online web company that was programmed in Ruby on Rails and I am having a very difficult time finding anyone who writes or works with this language to fix some minor issues and add some major features. I live in the Boston area. Any ideas where I can start looking for a dependable and competent Ruby developer? Any help would be much appreciated.

A good starting point would be the local Ruby Brigade. The Boston area group appears to be pretty active. Info and contacts at http://bostonrb.rubybrigade.org/

There are several online sites that specialize in Ruby on Rails positions. Google 'Ruby on Rails jobs' and you'll see where developers may be going to look for work.

HTH, Bill

I don't know if you need the person to be their physically. But I'm currently unemployed and have been working with Rails since 1.1. I'm in CT close to Ny, NY.

I do not need them to be there physically but would like to be within driving distance so that we could meet from time to time to discuss in person, the details and the needs of the business.

Some job board options (I believe they all cost to post an ad), roughly from oldest to newest:

http://www.workingwithrails.com/

http://jobs.rubyinside.com/a/jbb/find-jobs http://jobs.github.com/ http://toprubyjobs.com/

Some are Ruby or Rails specific, others aren't. Those that aren't are still prominent in the community.

If you are open to a freelancer, you might also check http://freelanceswitch.com/.
