Hey, Mind that in some companies, rails is considered the frontend. Everything from rails forward to the browser is frontend, so that would include CSS and Javascript.
Quite often, from my experience, if you work on a rails project, you are expected to at least have a good grasp of CSS. Although, if you're looking for junior positions, the lack of interest in CSS and frontend browser development might be acceptable. What I would suggest going forward is working more on your straight ruby skills, being competent with stdlib and core without gems, as well as some of the more popular gems. That might help you get and hold a primarily backend position. ~Johnneylee On Thu, Sep 12, 2013 at 8:50 PM, Alireza T. <[email protected]> wrote: > I have a bachelor degree in Comp Sci.
