Re: [NYEdTech] Ranku is hiring!

Hello,

Our application is a basic ruby on rails application with very little JavaScript at the moment. Moving forward we are considering implementing a JavaScript framework (like emberJS or angularJS) and would give our developer the freedom to choose whichever they find most appropriate. Jquery is being used for some of the basic functions we have in place.

Happy Friday!

Best,

Cecilia,

I know one or two but they develop in AngularJS or EmberJS. So you have to be little more specific with front end requirements. No one codes in Jquery anymore. 

Interesting concept!

Hey Cecilia, 

Just wanted to let you know that the job posting will go out on Sunday - with the newsletter!

I'm working at an EdTech startup that's in stealth mode - Mentor{ed}. One of my teammates would love to connect with Tyler over the weekend for a cup of coffee. Would you mind making an intro?
