Hey Everyone
In preparation for the first Rails workshop on Tuesday, we have a few things for you to do:
- Fill out the form at http://trek.wufoo.com/forms/rails-workshop-mayjune/
- Prepare your laptop with the following software (some may already be installed on your system. instructions are googleable):
* ruby 1.8.6
* rubygems 1.3+
* rails gem 2.3.2
* haml gem 2.0+
* mysql 5+
* firefox 3 with
- firebug plugin installed * a text editor of your choice (we highly recommend you choose TextMate) that has:
- the ability to open in a folder view (we'll constantly move between files in a project folder) *syntax highlighting available and installed for ruby, rails, and haml
- To keep markup examples succinct, we use an HTML shorthand called Haml: http://gist.github.com/109326
Complete the following basic document structuring task:
1. Look at this image: http://img.skitch.com/20090510-1ib5wgef5fks1mp9s9an9dnubx.jpg
2. Using Haml, semantically mark up the content depicted in the image and save it to a .haml file. There's no need to worry about visual styling (we'll only look at your markup). You can verify your Haml by running it through haml if you wish (use
haml /path/to/your/file.haml. You might want to use an HTML reference like http://htmldog.com/reference/htmltags/ 3. Attach the .haml in an email to trek.glowacki+railsmayjue@gmail.com
