David Heinemeier Hansson, a partner in 37signals, has been working with the Net with varying levels of success since 1996 - in the fields of game journalism, marketing, project management, design, and development. In July 2004, he released the framework Rails (also known as Ruby on Rails) and has been managing that as an open-source movement ever since. He is one of the software luminaries on the faculty of SYS-CON's "Real-World AJAX" Seminar, a faculty that also includes the Father of the "term" AJAX, Jesse James Garrett (http://www.ajaxworld.com).

web-application
framework, Firebug, and
current JavaScript
libraries more than just
bearable, I find it
downright pleasant. Even
more so because it's born
out of the pragmatism of
not needing to be

In the wake of open
source, traditional
hiring practices seem
like an unnecessarily
risky way to hire new
employees, especially for
small teams where each
hire can make it or break
it. Why bet the
composition of your
collective on abstract
indicators, hearsay, and
a biased bio?
