The three rules of Ruby Quiz: 1. Please do not post any solutions or spoiler discussion for this quiz until 48 hours have passed from the time on this message. 2. Support Ruby Quiz by submitting ideas as often as you can: http://www.rubyquiz.com/ 3. Enjoy! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= It's been proven now that you can develop functional web applications with very little time, using the right tools: http://www.rubyonrails.com/media/video/rails_take2_with_sound.mov I guess that puts web applications in the valid Ruby Quiz category, so let's tackle one using your framework of choice: CGI, WEBrick servlets, Rails, or whatever. When I first came to Ruby, even just a year ago, I really doubt the community was ready to support a Ruby jobs focused web site. Now though, times have changed. I'm seeing more and more posting about Ruby jobs scattered among the various Ruby sites. Rails has obviously played no small part in this and the biggest source of jobs postings is probably the Rails weblog, but there have been other Ruby jobs offered recently as well. Wouldn't it be nice if we had a centralized site we could go to and scan these listings for our interests? This week's Ruby Quiz is to create a web application that allows visitors to post jobs for other visitors to find. Our focus will be on functionality at this point, so don't waste too much energy making the site beautiful. (That can be done after you decide this was a brilliant idea and you're really going to launch your site!) What should a jobs site record for each position? I'm not going to set any hard and fast rules on this. The answer is simply: Whatever you think we should enter. If you need more ideas though, browse job listings in your local paper or check out a site like: http://jobs.perl.org/
