After running a few RoR basic classes, and I've been struggling to define the content of the course.
Talking to Rob yesterday at the march mingle, he gave me a goal, which is: "They should leave knowing enough to what to google for" -- which I think is a great goal, but how much is enough? My current content coverage goal is: Basic Ruby: ( this is a fast crash course for people that already knows how to program in another language) numbers, string puts and gets if, else, while each loop Array, Hash basic oo concepts (methods, class, attributes) irb AR: Associations Validations Hooks AC + Dispatch: routes MVC params respond_to AV: form_for rendering errors basic helpers (link_to img_tag, date_select) partials Basic gems: paperclip devise (?) any other suggestions? Deployment/scm: git heroku deployment Testing: rspec (or unit?) TDD basic concept Did I miss something? Did I cover something that shouldn't be covered? -- SD Ruby mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/sdruby
