##Introductory Message
Hi fellow students and mentors,
My name is Ricky. I am a Rails and iOS mentor here at Bloc. As a mentor, I've been guiding my students to several different channels for help. For my students, two strategies have been the most helpful: Google && Stack Overflow and Curriculum specific slack groups. The Bloc Hacker Group on Facebook, Bloc Overflow, and Basecamp have also proven helpful.
