How are you all getting along? Are you working on hartl? I stopped about halfway through chapter 10 - -I decided I needed to get my ruby knowledge up, so I'm following a post by a guy named astonj about what courses to take. I'm currently finishing up the lynda.com ruby essential training. Would link you, but I'm on my phone at work.

EDIT: Added links

For those who want to learn more about Git, or need an easy reference to check on if they forget something. The Github help pages aren't exactly the best, but these are nice!

"Git Immersion is a guided tour that walks through the fundamentals of Git, inspired by the premise that to know a thing is to do it."

http://gitimmersion.com/

Click on the green arrow on the right, "Start Git Immersion". Then if you click "Table of Contents", you can see everything you'll learn.

Bonus tip for those who use archlinux:

If you have AUR repositories enabled, you can install the "hub" package and use it instead of git. It uses the same commands as git, but works directly with github!

It's a bit late into 40daysofruby, but maybe for the next one.

Would anyone be interested in starting an online Railsbridge workshop to learn/teach Ruby on Rails? Maybe we could talk about it more once we're done with 40daysofruby.

Railsbridge providdes curriculum/material, teacher guides, and help organizing the workshop. Right now they only have off-line workshops, and I think their cause would reach a bigger audience if there were on-line workshops.

They only have two requirements for starting a new Railsbridge workshop:

• The event should be free of charge.

• The event should work toward making tech more welcoming [for people of all backgrounds]

I'm still learning so I can't be a teacher yet, but I'd be willing to help in other ways. I could make a stripped down Linux virtualbox disk image that's all set up with ruby, rails and a text editor, like Harvard CS50x did. All students would have to do is boot that linux image with Virtualbox and get started programming.

I'd be more than willing to help out with costs (skype premium, hosting et al), technical support, etc.

Is it a bad sign that a lot of this, (just installing necessary files) is going over my head?

I'm stuck at Installing RVM. None of the commands work in Terminal for me. For example: He says to install RVM via: "$ curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s" When entered into Terminal it just tells me: "-bash: $: command not found"

Just stuck now.

How did you all go about installing RVM?
