Hire Ruby on Rails Developer Easily

Posted by Manik Juneja on December 1st, 2015

One of today's most popular web development frameworks, Ruby on Rails is also one of the most powerful in the web application space. In fact, a great number of websites use it and more are being built with it, given its unique approach and "opinionated" nature. Opinionated software is built under the premise that there is always a right and wrong way to do things, in this case, to write code and encourages the best measure while discouraging alternatives. This kind of approach is particularly beneficial when it comes to rapid application development and quick deployment. Like many other open source platforms, Ruby on Rails also comes with a dedicated community that is always on the lookout for ways to solve similar problems and issues. When hiring a developer specializing on Ruby on Rails as a framework, choose one who knows the platform inside out and is capable of helping you understand why things work the way they do during the planning stage, the application development, development, and thereafter. Skilled Ruby on Rails developers will help you work through the technicalities of the program in a way that you would understand. Here are some things you should look for in an ideal ruby on rails developer: 

• Choose a firm with ample experience and track record in using the framework. Ask about their experience in the industry, the number of projects they have managed under Ruby on Rails, and which of them brought the most success. These are great factors by which you can measure and evaluate a development agency's work and worth. While Ruby on Rails is a relatively new language, it will not be hard to find companies that have been working with the platform since its nascent stages. 

• While capability and expertise are often hard to judge on the surface, you can always check for references and contact previous clients or your own web development advisors to help you fairly gauge their capabilities. Results of their previous projects are also good yardsticks for their expertise as well as the quality of their work. 

• Whether you decide to work with an on-shore or off-shore Company or a firm with off-shore presence, choose a team that offers good communication touch points and excellent interpersonal and business skills to help you with the business end of the commissioned work. It is also in your company's best interest that you work with a developer who has experience and a broad knowledge base of your own industry.
