News from PLANET ARGON
In our efforts to always be on the cutting edge of the latest tools and resources, PLANET ARGON has recently adopted Git, a source code management system. Be sure to check out the latest Hansel Minutes Podcasts, recorded at our studio in Portland, Oregon. Andy Delcambre, Gary Blessington, and Robby Russell had a chance to sit down with Scott Hanselman to discuss PLANET ARGON’s adoption of Git.
After a few months of building a new billing system, we’re happy to announce monthly rates for Rails Boxcar. You can now order a new Boxcar subscription for just $99/month.
We recently launched our new hosting service for Ruby on Rails applications, Boxcar. This new service is now available for purchase, which means that you can now select it from our Rails hosting page and order it.

As Executive Director, Robby focuses his day-to-day energy on making PLANET ARGON a leader in innovative Ruby on Rails solutions. With a focus on community and creativity, Robby works with our design and development team to provide an individualized process for every client. Robby was pleased, then, to accept an invitation from Nathaniel Talbot to join a panel session at RailsConf 2007 (US), with Justin Gehtland, Geoffrey Grosenbach, Andre Lewis and Joe O’Brien. The session is on The Business of Rails; these Rails business greats will answer questions from the moderators and audience about just how they have made Rails and business a successful pairing. Go see Robby in action at The Business of Rails panel session or contact us at PLANET ARGON to find out how Robby and our team can make your web presence out of this world.
Robby and his Rails expertise are highlighted in a CRN breaking news post about the addition of REST to the recently released Ruby on Rails 1.2. A big benefit to using REST is the increase in efficiency and productivity during development. As Robby points out, REST also helps by easing connection problems between applications developed in Rails with those written in other programming languages. Ruby on Rails continues to grow and improve, and so does the PLANET ARGON team. Contact us today to find out how our Design and Development team can add value to your next web application.

Several members of the PLANET ARGON Core Team traveled by train from Portland, OR to Chicago, IL for RailsConf 2006.
