The NYC Coaching Program has sign-up system that utilizes Google Calendar's appointment slots functionality. All coaches need to go into to bit.ly/nyccoaches to sign up for their coaching slots if they want to be paid.

The way it works is the following:

• we decide the max number of floor & 1:1 coaching hours allowed (we can "afford") and how to allocate these hours across the week.
• you go to bit.ly/nyccoaches to sign up for a coaching slots (appointment slots) in our new Coaching Calendar
• we will watch how coaches signup and adjust the slots over time as we learn more or as our budget changes.

so for those who need hand-holding....

Step 1 => Go to bit.ly/nyccoaches. Try to do this as far in advance as possible to ensure you get the time slots you want. They're now strictly limited to ensure we don't go over budget.

Welcome

• welcome to the team!
• we know you (coaches) know more than us (staff) about this program because you've already gone through it
• we trust you to use your good judgement to make this program the best it can possibly be for our students

Coordination

• use your mailing list to communicate with each other => coaches.nyc@devbootcamp.com. You should have already been added to it.
• avoid the temptation to build (or use) some shiny new scheduling app because it'll break or flare out some day and then life will suck

The Flash

The flash is a new, special part of the session that makes data available for the next request -- but is then cleared automatically.

This is useful for notifications ("Welcome, John", "You have successfully logged out") and error messages ("your email and password don't match").

Logging out is a good example:

• assigning flash messages is the same as assigning a session key-value pair but the keys are :flash, :notice and :alert.
• they can also be assigned as part of the redirection
