A fundamental. I apologise if this is covered in the install fest, but setting up rvm or rbenv for proper ruby version management. This includes using these tools to create gemsets that can be loaded for project specific folders. (A discussion between these tools and reasons why people choose one over the other, or other strategies, is also useful).
Of course all these processes have motivations for their use. So explaining to beginners the reasons why this is done is as important as explaining the tools. A correctly setup environment, including an understanding of the environment will guide a beginner toward the ruby and way. Hopefully it will also enable them to steer clear of unecessary difficulty. This might fit well prior to a git discussion. Thoughts?
