Spreading the gospel
May 7th, 2008 — Ruby
The day starts with a list of potential topics. The class body votes on the topics that they want to cover. All of my votes went to ‘file uploads’ for work reasons — and fortunately this pushed it over the top! 
And the results in order are:

Lovely start to the day. 2 miles from the hotel, my Prius breaks down and won’t start. WTF?! FAIL! Oddly, 30 minutes later (after perusing the sample app that we’re going to discuss during the class), the car starts again with a warning light. During the class, I’m fucking Grand Central Station: my cell phone rang 4 times before lunch. Again, WTF? I’m not a popular guy. Yeesh!
Hehehe… and Twitter went down just before lunch. Sometimes it’s nice to remember that I’m not the only one who is living in interesting times.
Regarding my notes, it’s worth mentioning that I’ve done a bit of Rails 1.2.x development but haven’t touched Rails 2.x until today. That said, as of this morning, I was comfortable with the theory of REST but not the Rails implementation.
Anyhoo, my notes from Day 1 of the class follow after the jump.
