No interruptions, no one entering your office or calling you on the phone. Every time you are interrupted by others while you are working on a task, you lose concentration, you have to start again from the beginning, and no one seems to note that. Why?

Additionally, your boss and your colleagues need to be informed about your work, if only to be able to do theirs. This fact has made me think a lot, because there must be an easier way to keep people posted about your past and current activities, without being distracted so much. In the end it is really simple, you have to notify what you are doing frequently and in a standard way. You must publish that data if you can.  That information must be accessible to all the people you need to keep up to speed. 

That's what WorkOutLoud is all about.

This blog is the place where I will share the journey of analyzing and implementing what such a kind of web application could require. I hope to get suggestions and some help from all of you.

Ruby on Rails is the technology I will use to get the work done because it is the best framework available right now (and because I love Ruby programming language too). It's a technology developed by a European software developer, David Heinemeier Hansson, released in open source on the Internet 4 years ago. I hope to be able to share some ideas, thoughts, questions and code very soon.
