Email to send to ZendCon apigility tutorial attendees.

tutorial-email.txt

Hi!

You're receiving this email because you are currently enrolled in the Apigility
Workshop for ZendCon 2015.

The workshop will be very hands-on. As such, you'll need a laptop with an editor
or IDE available, and a working Git installation.

To make the Apigility install and PHP environment consistent, we are providing a
repository containing all code for all exercises, as well as Vagrant
instructions.

BEFORE coming to the tutorial, please do the following:

1. Clone https://github.com/weierophinney/apigility-zendcon-tutorial

   This is on GitHub, and the repository has instructions in the right-hand
   sidebar indicating how to clone it.

2. Follow the instructions in the README.md file. (You can view them from the
   above URL!) They detail the prerequisites you'll need, which include VMWare
   or VirtualBox, Vagrant, Chef DK, Berkshelf, and several vagrant plugins.
   
   Once you have the prerequisites in place, make sure you perform a `vagrant
   up` **BEFORE** coming to the conference, so that you do not need to depend on
   venue WiFi to download VM images and/or composer dependencies!

We've tried to make the instructions as repeatable as possible, but there's
always a chance that you'll run into errors. If you do, please feel free to
contact either of us before the conference, and we'll do our best to get back
to you with assistance:
