Welcome to Michael Hartl's Home on the Web! You found your way here—you might as well stay a while. I wear several different hats, and if you poke around this site you'll get to know about a few of them.
Briefly, I'm a computer programmer and entrepreneur, though I started off in theoretical physics. I'm the author of RailsSpace: Building a Social Networking Website with Ruby on Rails and a graduate of Harvard and Caltech. The rest of this site has some more about me, including a little about my movie tastes and interest in music.
If you don't like this site, I also recommend not visiting the minimalist professional page for Michael Hartl (or the site for David Hartl, for that matter).
