Welcome, Nick!

As I mentioned previously, we’ve been incredibly busy over the past several months. In fact, looking over the course of nearly a year, we’ve not just been working full-tilt, but at some level far past that. Some time ago, we realised that we’ve been working to the point where we’re just going to fall over unless we expand.

To that effect, we started searching for someone to join our team. Enter Nicholas Rutherford, who will be joining us in a trainee position at Argument from Design. He’ll be working under Ian White on programming jobs.

For a student, Nick already has a lot of real-world experience in the industry. We hope to add to that experience by exposing him to the rigours of working with Ruby on Rails within the Agile Programming methodology that has served us so well for the past few years. Speaking more concretely, in addition to the aforementioned Ruby on Rails work, he’ll be using Ian’s powerful resources_controller and getting used to Test & Behaviour-Driven Design with RSpec & unobtrusive Javascript development using LowPro. Finally, we’re also encouraging Nick to blog about his experiences as he works with us.

So welcome, Nick! We hope you enjoy writing tests for stuff you haven’t written yet :)
