About Rohit

I have a tremendous passion for software. My day job at a Fortune 100 company exposes me to all sorts of .NET and SQL Server tasks, but my passion drives me to explore other technologies as well. I recently fall in love with Ruby on Rails and in my spare time trying to explore it. Previously I have worked on PHP as well.

I am one of the technical reviewer of Aptana Studio Beginner's Guide which recently got published through Packt Publishing.
