The two big things we want to accomplish:

a) bootstrapping your development environment - follow http://installfest.railsbridge.org/installfest/installfest

b) setting up a basic blog application - follow http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html

To prepare for this class, get as far as you can in these two tutorials.

Experienced students please consider coming out to help troubleshoot. This class will be a looser format than usual, so everyone, please bring snacks! If there's interest, we will get beers at Shotwell's afterward to celebrate being caught up.
