> Who are you thankful for?
Of course, it’s you Satish! Thank you for managing the fantastic RubyLearning group of sites!
We in India and especially in Pune are thankful to Satish for bringing Ruby to India. Man, you rock!!
Satish, you brought Java in 1995 and Ruby in 2005 to India. You also introduced these languages in the University of Pune computer science syllabus – we all are very grateful to YOU. There are literally 1000s who have benefited. Hats off to you.
I’m thankful to you as well, Satish. Thank you for continuing to bring forth interesting, challenging and quality Ruby courses on RubyLearning!
Thank you, Satish, for spreading your passion for Ruby!
Thank you for including me Satish. And thank you for RubyLearning!
I’m thankful to the people who helped produce Sinatra (thank you Blake Mizerany).
Hey, thanks for including Chargify in your list… We really do appreciate it!
Also, as a founder of Engine Yard, I have to recommend EY for your list
. EY has been investing in Ruby & Rails since 2007 by supporting people & projects like Rubinius, JRuby, & Rails.
Thanks for putting this list together, and thanks again for including Chargify already!
Yup, EY definitely deserve a place on any lists like this, if only for supporting Rubinius and Jruby.
Thanks Satish! Keep up the great work in 2010!
Your place on this list is very well-deserved too by the way, your blog posts are always insightful and your Twitter is a wealth of information too!
Æ!!
Satish Talim for rubylearning courses, Satoshi Asakawa for dedicating yourself as a active mentor, Michael Kohl for always be present and helping at all courses and Phusion (as company) for creating and improving incredible products.
Cheers,
Willian Molinari
Thanks!
Satish, thanks a lot!
Thanks Satish.
Satish, thank YOU for bringing quality and affordable Ruby-related courses and eBooks. Your Sinatra eBook rocks!
The Book Promotions on Rubylearning gave us a chance to interact with authors – thank you for that.
Many Congrats !
Satish is not only a great Ruby teacher but also a selfless helping hand to anyone interested in getting into newer technologies..A decade back, he did it for Java.
You might not have realized it yet but you have brought Ruby to the life of thousands of people.
A down-to-earth and very helpful human being. So many of us owe their careers to this man – hats off, Sir.
It is safe to say that Satish Talim is the most influential Technology teacher we have ever had, influential in that his leadership has been strong, articulate, both local and international in scope, and will be of lasting value to all his students. Today, his students are in leading positions in companies like IBM, Sun, Oracle, Microsoft etc. (spread all around the world) – all thanks to him, molding us all along the way.
Sir, you are an continuing example of what it means to be a great teacher.
And I am thankful to you Satish. You do so much for our community!
Thanks for the mention Satish. And thank *you* so much for all you’ve done for the Ruby community. RubyLearning is a fantastic resource.
Hi Satish. Nice of you to put this list together.
Thank you for all the work you do with RubyLearning, Satish. I’ve personally recommended it to several people, and they’ve all been pleased with the results!
To Satish, Satoshi, all the other Rubylearning support members, all being great source of info.
And to a person called Henon (author of foxGUIb) who has helped me lots with my wobbles with his program and other issues I’ve had with his program.
Anyone interested in getting to grips quickly with fxruby give me a holler (I’m no expert but can show you what i know to help you get up to speed quicker with foxGUIb).
dave.
Awesome, I’m honored!
Thanks for the mention.
Satish, thank you for the mention!
Many thanks to you for mentioning me by name – my 15 minutes of Ruby fame- thank you!
Satish, thanks for your credits – appreciated
Keep up the good work.
Thanks Satish. I know we’re thankful for everyone in the tech community.
Thanks Satish. Keep up the good work on RubyLearning!
Thanks Satish
Hopefully we’ll get to meet in person some day!
Of course I also would like to thank Satish for creating RubyLearning and making it the great place it is. I’m honoured to be a part of this team, which probably was even more of a learning experience for me than for the course participants. Plus I got to meet a lot of awesome people, and I really hope to be able to at least meet some of you guys in person once.
Wow. First thing that came to my mind as to who in the Ruby Community I’m thankful for, was of course you, Satish. Obviously, as I scroll down this long list of responses, I share this feeling with many. There is a reason for that.
Kudos!
Thanks to Satish for helping in Ruby community growth, keeping it alive with new challenges and also thanks to you for getting Ruby into Pune University syllabus.
I want to give thanks to RailsBridge http://railsbridge.org/ for their work to encourage an inclusive and friendly community.
