Listen to Obie Fernandez talk about 321-Launch and you'll understand that value of bundling when it comes to consulting services.

In my opinion this is a clear ad-hominen attack from Obie against Alex, and one that should not be appreciated.

Totally worth the money, from a guy who learned Ruby/Rails from him and Obie Fernandez's book and struck on independent contracting.

This is definitely worth a watch, even if you've heard Obie talk business before.

When I learned Rails I paid $100 or so to Hartl and another $30 for the Obie book.

Eh, normally I find Obie to be sort of a jerk, but most of this doesn't come off that way.

The Rails 3/4 Way by Obie Fernandez was really helpful to me.

I would seriously recommend you pick up 'The Rails Way' by Obie Fernandez.

You can find templates online, Obie sells some templates.

If you don't like Obie Fernandez, you ignore him.

If you see the latest kerfluffle over Twitter moving a bit of code from ruby to Scala most of the incoherent blabbering responses came from the rails crowd (e.g Obie Fernandez's response on his blog).

That would be like paying Obie Fernandez for less for Rails development just because he doesn't have an advanced degree and paying someone with an IT degree from the University of Phoenix more by virtue of the degree itself as opposed to capabilities or past performance.

The Obie Fernandez book, "The Rails Way", helps make the magic make more sense.

In Obie's defense, he is one of Rails's original "imperious douchebags."

Obie says above it has been "fully updated".

"The rigidity of this approach surprises me" That is because you don't know Obie.

Obie Was making sure, and it was about four or five hours later that Alice (remember Alice?

Hartl's tutorial is a great start, but Obie's was the book that actually hit the 'why' on the head.

For perspective -- would you expect to see something like this out of Obie?
