Reduce Framework setup time ex: Ruby on Rails

Observation:
I guys, when i tried to learn Ruby on Rails, I struggle lot in setting ruby on rails in Mac laptop.
Ruby on rails installation required ruby, rbenv.
Even though i have ruby installed its different version.

I have to know correct ruby on rails version, correspond ruby version other dependencies.
I have to download them. Install it, it some time throw some errors.

Again i have to verify the installation.

I was think, is there any one bundle or installation that i can use it instantly or with minimum time in setting up framework.

Solutions
Following are some of my exploration.
I thought tried Ubuntu in Virtual Box.
It have its own problem for me like, i am not unable to connect to my network.
Its little bit slow.

I though lets try on windows.
I tried their too, their also same like windows but little bit fast

I though, i don't need any local setup at all. I will directly work on Amazon ec2 development box.
Then i installed all dependencies. But  There are some issues like connecting through ssh
Due to slow internet connection, ssh connection was closing.

I saw tutorial codelearn.com, its very good there is no ruby on rails setup. it was already setup.
I can practice it. But i can not use to show to other its not my production machine.

I recently saw elasticbox, where you can manage all your cloud machines event it from amazon or google ,...

I was thinking that there should be os ubuntu image with all things installed for each framework for production, learner image.
so that you can deploy the image, and use directly, expose it production, show case some one else too.

Test your idea with MVP for 5k

What is the problem?
Many people have idea, but they don't able to validate with customers properly. MVP will give better picture to the customer. But creating MVP required lot of skills/person ex: designer , developer(front end, backend), marketer. Its difficult to convince other persons to create MVP. Even if you go to startup weekend event, its guarantee that idea will be selected, people will help in creating MVP for idea.

The people attending the event are not the right customer group. They high choose something else over to because of limited votes.

What the solution?
A saw a post leanstartup.in facebook group one guy was willing to help in validate, ideating your idea, find out your limitation, skills. If you still feel you need MVP. He is willing to get MVP for you for 5K indian rupees.

What are doubts about the concerned person who is proposing such solution?
I don't that person directly, but once i tried similar but instead creating MVP in exchange for guiding, motivating fresher, students.

Is this solution is scale able?
We need people who will be evaluating, analyzing the idea. Based on idea owner person skill, limitation. We need to gather remaining expert. Build the MVP in 1 to 2 days  , max 1 week like Hackathon.

What is big difficulties with solution?
Gathering different skill expert like designer, IOS developer, android developer, front end developer, architect , machine learning expert is difficult , they are also costly by profession.

May be if we can have platform for MVP creation, where all skilled people gather as freelance or fun or experience. it will be achievable. Yet to see how it goes.

But its great start .

How to get the job through internship

Getting jobs is now a days difficult for students.
Even when software crisis big colleges students also face similar problem.

I observed how some students are able to get job.

On of my observation was that I.I.T. student was doing internship at Amazon.
I just discussed with him.
Why he was doing internship as it is not permanent.
He said if he perform well internship, the company will hire him.

Even observed in small start up company , a V.I.T. engineering student was doing internship.
After couple of months, he equity 0.5% in the company along with salary.

When i was working in Amazon Chennai, I come to know the some engineering students from I.I.T. went to United States to do internship in big american companies.

Companies are recruiting interns from I.I.T., I.I.S.C., N.I.T. , Bits Pilani, famous central university, some private famous universities.

Companies are hiring the student based on basic of programming, reasoning, aptitude.
But they looking for passion, self learner, initiators, responsible students, high confidence.

I some where saw there is internship hiring in job portals, internship specific platform.

How to meet celebrity

I think any celebrity will be good promotion for good cause.
Bigger the celebrity better the promotion, coverage in news, papers, blocks, websites.
Cause need not be NGO, it can be profit.
In such situation it will be little incentive  or make him ambassador or make advisory group.

Lets come to main question.

Meet at the following places.

• Airport
• Home
• Event
• Work
• Parties
• NGO

Every celebrity will travel through airplane.
They might some time wait before boarding plane.
If we can talk him crisp discussion, giving the purpose, contact number, card.
It will be great.

Crowd Fund raising platform for India

There is no specific fundraising platform for India.
Indiegogo support fund raising for India.
I heard recently that fundlined.com is fundraising platform for India.
Even fundlined is promoted through challenge like who ever promotes 5 lakh, 10 lakh, 25 lakh, 50 lakh, 1 crore.
But the problem with fundlined.com is that no one believe fundlined as much as kickstarter, indiegogo.com.
Even the crowd fund raising concept is very new to india.

There is lack of awareness for crowd funding from lower and middle class people in India.
If we can create awareness all categories.

• Students to old page people.
• No tech to semi tech to High tech people.
• All language speaking people.
• All different states in India.

How to create awareness in for all people?
If celebrities will help in this matter, it will be great.
Starting with small actor to big hero.
Similarly Student to principal
Support from media (news paper, TV, government initiative)
Support from Political leaders.
Support from Scientist.
Support from creative people artist.
Support from business people.


How to get the traction from these people?

Where to start awareness ?

Which states ?

Which domain?

Which celebrity group?

Which media?

Is TV is good for awarenss?

Is facebook is good?

Which political leader is good?
