What should you know before hiring

So, step by step. Before you start create full list what Ruby on Rails Developer is responsible for. But remember, access to the free tutorial how to create simple application doesn’t make a developer. Ruby on Rails developer is:

  • He lives in a Ruby on Rails development environment. Every day he improves his skills and tries new features and abilities of this programming language. He takes part in open source community contributions and implements modern methods and technology to the project.
  • He drives product development. It’s not just to write the code, but to work collaboratively playing a large role in a company’s product development roadmap.
  • He follows BDD (Behaviour Driven Development) approach. This approach is being promoted by Agile lovers. BDD makes the connection between developers, users and systems analysts more easy.
