Pre-Class Homework

• You'll need a GitHub account to complete the collaborative development exercises. Please sign up if you don't already have an account.
• We will provide a VirtualBox VM with everything you need for development on the first day of class; however, if you have time please install current versions of Virtualbox and Vagrant ahead of time.
• You'll also need a text editor or IDE to edit your rails application. We like TextMate, Atom, RubyMine, but any good text editor you're comfortable with will do. Syntax highlighting and code completion are nice features to have. We even have friends who use Emacs and vim!
• If you have never used Ruby, visit http://tryruby.org for an interactive tutorial.

NOTE: We’ll also have plenty of time in class to help get you setup. If you run into any problems, we’ll be there to help .
