Introduction
This week we'll finish up with an introduction to Ruby and move on to Ruby on Rails. We'll start with an introduction to web frameworks in general, and then move on to Model View Controller. Finally, we'll build a small Rails app in class to demonstrate how much more quickly you can build applications if you have a framework to start with.
Commands to Run Before Developing
Before you start developing with Ruby on Rails, you'll want to make sure that all of the code associated with Rails is current. These commands will make sure that everything is up to date with the latest versions.
Open the Instant Rails application and right click on the icon in the taskbar. Choose Rails Applications > Open Ruby Console Window. Run this command first
