Here at Modal we have two full time developers (Tyler and Myself) and a couple of outside contractors. To help grease the process of getting Zygote ready for production we decided to look for some interns who could work onsite and crank on the little things between the cracks.

We got lucky!

This week all three interns started work. Brandt and Eric both come from the local community college. Brandt is taking care of our in-house IT support while Eric, who has experience with HTML and Javascript, is working on getting the Ruby on Rails views ready for production use.

Our third intern Jeff comes to us all the way from Kansas. He’s got past experience with Django and Python. Slipping into Ruby was a pretty low hurdle for him. He’s currently working on the data models to insure things like validation logic are working correctly.

These guys are moving at warp speed. Everyday we walk home with a significant piece of work checked in!

Need I mention the guys are all Mac heads? =)
