In this workshop, we'll take you through the process of building a complete web application using Ruby on Rails. By the end of the day, you'll have an application that connects to a database, reads and writes data, and renders html in a browser.
We'll meet up Friday to install all of the software you need, and then spend Saturday learning and writing code. Programmers of all skill levels are welcome and students will be delineated into different classes based on the experience level you choose when you sign up.
**Rails 5 is here, which means you need at least Ruby 2.2.2! Attending Installfest or carefully verifying your install is current on your own is mandatory for all students to make sure that class on Saturday can run smoothly.**
Steps to verify your install is up-to-date: http://curriculum.railsbridge.org/installfest/get_a_sticker.
Street parking will be hard to find and metered, but there are pay lots nearby.
