Today marks my very last day as an instructor in the [Tuts+][1] network. For
more than four years I have been contributing to the community with [video
content][2] in the many different categories of web development. My main focus has
been on Ruby and I wouldn't have developed certain aspects of the craft if I
didn't force myself to learn them to the point of having to teach them. For that
and so much more, I want to address my sincerest appreciation for the Tuts+
family. Until now I have never been part of such a wonderful team. My life has
changed for the better ever since I joined it.
* Jeffrey, Amanda and Adam: thank you for directing my learning and teaching
experience. You turned me into who I am as a developer. Thank you for
believing in me.
* David, Joel, Richard, Tiffany and the entire Tuts+ team: thank you for aiding
me in improving my content. Also, thank you for supporting some of my
feedback, even though sometimes it might not have turned out so well.
* To all of the students who follow my content: my greatest thank you; for
listening what I had to say, for letting me into your careers and helping you.
Thank you for all the wonderful messages, the conversations, the smiles and
the gratitude. Those were my biggest motivation to keep on teaching.
* To my wife and family who always stood and still stands by me: thank you for
believing in me, for the silence when I needed to record.
I will be joining a new team as a Ruby developer in the following week, in which
I'll be able to contribute to the world in a different way. A new cornerstone is
being placed and I'm very excited to put myself to the challenge.
After all these years of education, I bow to my ignorance and recognize that I
still have a lot to learn regarding web development with Ruby. I hope I can
record some of that learning during this new experience.
