Web Portfolio of Dave Myers

There was no denying it: the old design of this website had become terribly dated. It was also geared towards my freelance services, of which I no longer directly offer, in Orange County, where I no longer live.

What the site needed was a solid evaluation of purpose. So I trimmed the fat and brought it back to its roots: a site to display my portfolio of work.

This site also served as the perfect test subject for Ruby on Rails development, as its simple nature gave me a good platform to learn on. The system includes a basic Content Management System and categorized Image Gallery.

Developing the site has taught me the fundamentals of Ruby on Rails. The MVC (Model/View/Controller) method of dividing code serves as an excellent way to keep code organized, Ruby syntax is much easier on the eyes than C#, and Active Record makes accessing my data from the database easier than I ever thought imaginable.
