The Tools Biego Uses
Ruby on Rails
Ruby on Rails is an open-source web framework that's optimized for programmer happiness and sustainable productivity. It lets you write beautiful code by favoring convention over configuration. "Ruby on Rails, often called RoR, or just Rails, is an open source web application framework written in Ruby that closely follows the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture. It strives to allow real-world applications to be developed in less code with a minimum of configuration. Rails makes extensive use of Ruby's meta-programming functionality, allowing Rails to create a domain specific language that many programmers find more productive than traditional frameworks. Rails is primarily distributed through RubyGems, the official packaging format and distribution channel for Ruby libraries and applications." –wikipedia
Basecamp
Basecamp takes a fresh, novel approach to project collaboration. Projects don't fail from a lack of charts, graphs, stats, or reports, they fail from a lack of clear communication. Basecamp solves this problem by providing tools tailored to improve the communication between people working together on a project. Basecamp is elegant, easy, and web-based. It even looks good on paper. Since Basecamp is hosted on our reliable web servers, you don't need to download, install, upgrade, configure, or troubleshoot anything. All you need is a web browser (IE 6+, Firefox, or Safari) and an internet connection.
Strongspace
Strongspace is a safe place to gather, store, back-up and share any type of file. You can upload and download files via SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol), HTTPS (web browser access over Secure Socket Layers) and even RSYNC over SSH (a rapid, low bandwidth way to "sync"). Strongspace is a great place to back-up or store important files from any internet-connected computer. Companies can use it as an inexpensive off-site file server, friends and family around the world can use it to share files, and if you regularly use multiple computers, it's a perfect centralized place to store your files.
