If you are reading this, you are now part of the inaugural Rails Engineering class for The Iron Yard's new Tampa / St. Petersburg campus.
I hope you are as excited as I am. We will be going through a large amount of content over the next 12 weeks. You'll need to stay sharp and well rested, and put in a lot of work. If you do, you will come out the other side of this journey with not only new skills, but more importantly, a confidence in yourself to be able to learn new and challenging concepts and hopefully a new way of thinking and problem solving.
In order for you to be as prepared as possible for day one, I will use this repository to communicate with you over the next couple of weeks, passing along some pre-assignments and information.
I will create an 'issue' here on GitHub for each of you to complete. It will contain a list of assignments and tasks. Please check them off as you complete them. If you have any questions as you go, leave them as comments on the issue.
Do not close your issue out. I will close it out on day one.
Thanks and best wishes. You can do this.
