FAQ

The quiz dates are the following:

Date: June 6th 2013 - First Midterm Exam - Topics: To be determined Date: July 4th 2013 - Second Midterm Exam - Topics: To be determined

The project proposal deadline date will be the same date as the first midterm which is june 6th 2013. However, I expect proposals to be deliver as soon as the second week of class.

Why? You may ask. Well, mostly because your first 3-4 submissions will need a lot of revisions and corrections and as you may know your proposal plays a huge part on the score of your project. You don't want to be lose those precious points at the beggining of the course, don't you? ;)

Here's a guide for each mayor OS:

Windows

For windows I recommend the Yard's RailsInstaller which you can download here.

Linux(Flavor: Ubuntu)

Here is a really cool guide for installing everything you need on Ubuntu 12.02 from Digital Ocean.

MACOS

Engine Yard applies here as well, get it here.

Classes are held every Tuesday and Thurday from 8:00PM to 10:00PM on INTEC's FD building room 401. If you need any additional information make sure you give me a shoutout on twitter at @gotjosh and I'll try to respond ASAP.
