New to programming? Learn Ruby on Rails in collaboration with others/instructor

Note: We will start at 7:30pm this week.

Learn Ruby on Rails in a collaborative, interactive environment with a mentor. Please feel free to contribute financially at www.RubyNuby.net (http://www.rubynuby.net) so we may continue with our socio-economic mission.

This week, we will continue with the free, online book Rails Tutorial by Michael Hartl as the backbone of our class. It is located at www.railstutorial.org (http://www.railstutorial.org/)

We will be in Room 317. Snuggs will let us know shortly what material will be covered in, Rails Tutorial by Michael Hartl. Last week , we covered Models/Applications.

Having gone over the chapter before the class will help! We will continue with where we left off (actions, resources). We will also pair you with a partner to work on Michael Hartl's exercises during the class.

In order to incentivize helping with our socio-economic mission of teaching tech and entrepreneurial skills to low-income youth, each week for our classes, we use a manual waitlist with priority seating in this order:

Attended the volunteer meeting at 6:30pm the previous week. Signed up for the 6:30pm Volunteer meeting right before this class Donated at www.RubyNuby.net Open to the rest based on first come first serve basis.
Attending the one-hour volunteer meetings and/or volunteering during the week results in reserving a seat in our free two-hour classes. This is our way of paying forward to our Community of Contributors™ and helping with our socio-economic mission of teaching what we learn to low-income youth. Usually, several stay after class to pair program and learn from each other.
