Mackenzie Child, Part One: Concrete Goals

I caught up with Mackenzie Child to talk about his 12 in 12 challenge. In which he challenges himself to learn Ruby on Rails by building 12 web apps in 12 weeks.

During this first episode, we talk about why he decided to challenge himself, the overlap in skill set between design and development, and learning to recognize when you're overcommitted.

If you want to learn how to build Ruby on Rails web apps from design to code , especially as a designer, be sure to check out Unicasts.com.

Be sure to tune in on Wednesday, for part two of this series, when Mackenzie shares how he learned Ruby.
