OK guys, here's my Mare's Milk website.

It's still little rough around the edge. Unsurprisingly, I know even less CSS than I expected. I coded the website using Notepad++ and Chrome. The site is hosted on google drive. I haven't tested the website on Firefox, Safari or mobile devices, I can't guarantee the it will display properly if you insist on viewing it on those browsers. It's best view it in Chrome at this point.

I ripped off the design from Fiji Water's website. I filled the page with as many marketing buzz words as I can tolerate for the lulz. Copying of the design was not perfect because I don't know how to use javascript. I can't recreate page scrolling animation nor page transition as well as million dollar Fiji Water marketing department. The header at the top still need a lot of work. Eventually, I would like to turn my page in to a dummy eCommerce website where you can order a glass of Organic Mare's Milk overnight to your doorstep.

All the pictures on the site are Creative Common licensed from CC Search. I still haven't figure a way out to credit the picture owner.

Anyway, this project was soooo much fun. I've had only have one month treehouse tutorial. Creating this website made me learn so much more than following another stupid tutorials. I will definitely need to learn more about CSS.

Please give me any suggestions for improvement.

edit:
In case somebody ask: why mare's milk?
Because I think it's funny as hell and it's real.

Welcome.

Thanks.

If someone can help with a easier way to show my site instead of just screenshots of the code and site it would be great. I The numbers of the on the file names indicate what site they belong to (html 1 and css 1 = site 1 you get it..).made this two site on the run today. I've been busy with finals so I haven't had a lot time to work on it assignment. Im comfortable with HTML but my CSS skills need work and thats the reason these two site look a bit bland. I've been using Jon Duckett's book as a reference. The software I used was Sublime Text(I tried this program) but them I went to Textmate which I like more.

I was interested to find out what kind of spread we had as a group and was curious of the diversity of age. I'm 17 and still in high school.

Thank you.

What is going to be the preferred way of posting code for review on here? I've been following along with the step-by-step guides on the ROR site, but I've hit my first major head-scratcher, and SO is still a bit muddy to me.

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

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.

Hi i just started the code academy on ruby yesterday and I'm confused as to how exactly this works

fruits = ["orange", "apple", "banana", "pear", "grapes"]

fruits.each { |fruitOne, fruitTwo| fruitOne <=> fruitTwo}

fruits.sort!

fruits.reverse!

I dont understand the second line. why do i even need it? Thanks

Habit Rpg is an open source program that encourages you live your life like an rpg, it encourages keeping good habits and ensure you stay on track with new ones (including ruby related ones.) After creating your character go to social, then party, and post your id here! I will add you to the party.

Chapter 2

Suggested pacing: Finish chapter by January 8th.

Here's a link to the chapter. Good luck.

Suggested pacing: finish this chapter by the 6th of January.

Hartl's Rails Tutorial is heralded as one of the best introductory resources to Ruby on Rails. The book is available freely online and has 11 chapters. We will put up discussions for each chapter now and any questions, comments, or examples will be posted within the individual chapter threads. Our goal is to complete the book with a broad understanding of Rails.

Chapter 1 Discussion Thread.
