We're looking for a few people to test a new product

by Mike ManginoJul.18.2008

We've been taking all of our payments from clients via ACH or electronic check for the last few months. We've really enjoyed the traceability and dependability that these payments give us. Along the way, we built a very simple payment solution that our clients use to pay our invoices. We're looking for 3 or 4 other people who are interested in trying it out. Our solution will be available within the next month and will be free for our testers. We can help you get the necessary merchant accounts if you need them.

Are you interested? Send me an email at mmangino@elevatedrails.com or give me a call at 773.259.0145 if you are interested.

Major Facebooker Updates

by Mike ManginoJul.16.2008

About a month ago I moved Facebooker development to GitHub. What a great decision that was. I've applied a flurry of patches to fix some outstanding issues and add some additional support to the platform. If you haven't done any Facebook development, Facebooker is a Ruby library for creating Facebook Applications. It is the library that I used in Developing Facebook Platform Applications with Rails. Details on the recent changes inside.

Our schedule is opening

by Mike ManginoJul.08.2008

We've been working pretty hard around Elevated Rails. We've launched a few new client projects this year and worked on some pretty massive applications. We've written a book and talked at RailsConf. We're even getting ready to launch a simple application to make Facebook development easier. We're finally starting to see some openings appear in our schedule. What does that mean? It's time to fill them!

Facebook Podcast

by Mike ManginoJun.19.2008

It's been a hectic week around here. After moving to Philadelphia on Sunday, I participated in a Podcast with Susannah Pflazer, my editor for Developing Facebook Platform Applications with Rails. You can listen to the interview at Pragmatic Bookshelf Podcasts. On top of that, I'm also hard at work updating the facebooker library for the upcoming changes. Hopefully things will slow down shortly to give Jen and I some time to enjoy our new city!
