First week of full time job as a developer

Finally I started being a full time developer in Pernix before start my internship as part of my last semester at college. I was really worried of being asked for something that I don’t know, but during that week I learned that when I don’t know something, research first and then if there are not good results ask to somebody.

During that week we talked about the projects that I’ll be working on. Also start getting closer with rails. I researched about spree that is kind of cms/ store developed in RoR as part of one of the projects. So I set up the environment to work with that and also made a basic demo using Spree. Also I had my first meeting with a real client (really exciting), it was to get started with the project, it was a walk through the current site that they have and told us about their worries what do they want to improve.

Moreover, I also started with the second project, it was a walk through to know what was it, how it works and how the code was structured. Then we started a really frustrating part because we needed to set up the environment  for it, which took a really long time, because of the versions of the gems, rails and ruby that were needed, not to mention that we needed to mount a local server, it was really hard, but finally we got help from our tech lead and another guy that make it work. After all of that chaos I started my first story on the second project. I was really nice to know that I’ll be coding something real. What showed me that I really need to take my free time and learn rails, I don’t want to be lost on it.
