New Laptop – I’m a Mac

Posted in: Programming by Steve on February 1, 2010

After going back and forth between getting a Dell, HP Envy or Asus, I decided to go outside of my comfort zone and bought a Macbook.

The reason I got it was because I wanted to learn a new programming language and to see how the other side lives.  Codemash taught me that if I want to get better as a programmer, I have to widen my experiences to more than just .NET. 

So this is the first step to jump start my learning.  I hope to upgrade it so a better hard drive (SSD), more memory and to get the new Speck soft satin case (and a travel case too).  I will be blogging more about the experience of OS-X vs Windows along with attempting to learn Ruby on Rails.
