'''6/17 Class: Test-Driven-Development and Sending Emails'''

In this ambitious lecture-workshop, we're going to introduce Test-Driven-Development, and apply it to sending emails from our blogs.

New students and others interested will have the option of learning Ruby 101 separately.

Homework: First make sure you've completed http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html, we will continue to work off of this tutorial. Then get as far as you can in both of the following tutorials. Don't worry if you don't finish them.

''Action Mailer Basics'' by RailsGuides

http://guides.rubyonrails.org/action_mailer_basics.html

''Request Specs and Capybara'' by Railscasts

http://railscasts.com/episodes/257-request-specs-and-capybara

RSVP here:

http://rails-school.heroku.com/lessons/test-driven-development-and-sending-emails

----

'''6/12 Class: Dissecting the request lifecycle with pry'''

Let's investigate the journey of a request through Rails with some help from the debugging tool pry.

Required reading

''Rails 3 in a Nutshell'' by O'Reilly, Chapter 2, up to and including the '''Controller''' section

http://ofps.oreilly.com/titles/9780596521424/rails.html

Required viewing

''Pry with Rails'' by Railscasts

http://railscasts.com/episodes/280-pry-with-rails

RSVP here: http://rails-school.heroku.com/courses/noisebridge-rails-course/lessons/dissecting-the-request-lifecycle-with-pry

Notes- http://beta.primarypad.com/p/G86Niu6EXz

----

'''6/5 Class: Ajax'''

We're going to continue our discussion of using Rails' Unobtrusive Javascript framework to add ajax interaction to our blog apps.

Please make sure you've completed http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html so we're all on the same page.

Also, RSVP here: http://rails-school.heroku.com/lessons/ajax-in-rails .

Notes- http://openetherpad.org/KjI5Ic2327

----

'''5/29 Class: Intro to Product Development'''

There's more to building web apps than hacking code, like figuring out what problem you're solving and how you'll know when you've solved it. This class we'll look at Michael's website for the class (http://rails-school.heroku.com) and polish it into a valuable tool for organizing our study group.

Homework is to think about these questions, or come up with your own:
* Who are the target users of the class website?
* What utility do they need out of the site to start using it right away?
* What features could be added to open up the site to a larger audience?

Notes- http://openetherpad.org/QjFPw7bflF

----

'''5/22 Class: Authentication with the Devise gem'''

In preparation please finish the tutorial at http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html . Seriously!

Enough talking about awesome Rails gems, let's use one in an app. We're going to add authentication to the blogs we created in the Getting Started guide, using the devise gem.

We will also have a beginners' group for folks needing help getting Rails set up or wanting to learn Ruby.

Notes- http://openetherpad.org/QC7KG7aKVB

----

'''5/15 Class: Demo Day!'''

In preparation please finish the tutorial at http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html .

This class we're going to start with a show-and-tell of projects we're working on or have recently completed. The demos don't have to be Ruby- or Rails-related, but should be related to web programming in some way. This is a chance to get answers to your project-specific questions, find fun new projects to work on, and receive great feedback.

Then we'll break up into two groups, one for beginners and one for more experienced students.

Notes - http://openetherpad.org/xsy1zKhrbj

----

'''5/8 Class: topic is BLOGS'''

In preparation please tackle http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html and get as far as you can in setting up a simple blog app.

Please post some links here to your favorite blogs. We'll take a look at some blog features and talk about how they might be implemented.
