    Tire Quality App: How Safe Are Your Tires?

Before you get to SF:

Install Rails. Unless a critical mass of people are Pythonistas, we'll use Rails. (We'll use all manner of other tools, depending on the Fellows' skills and interests) but, as a baseline, make sure Rails is installed and working on your machine before you show up. (Instructions are below.)
Send me a note (almshaw@gmail.com), or comment on this gist about what tools you like to use to build things, whether it be Ruby, Python, R, JavaScript, etc, and we'll adjust our stack to how most people like to do things.
Download the UTQGS data: http://cl.ly/0L2c152y2n2j, and take a look at it
Develop some questions about the data that you'd want to see in an app. Example questions that come to mind:


What are the safety ratings of the country's best-selling tires?
