ROR At SI

Recomended Reading

• Know Ruby First: http://www.poodr.info/ (quick Ruby OO read)
• Rails: http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ruby-on-rails-tutorial-book (don't just read it, DO IT, twice)
• Rspec: https://leanpub.com/everydayrailsrspec (Rspec is used in the tutorial, but other aspects are covered here)

Overall Strategies

• use Rspec rather than default TestUnit

rails new foo --skip-test-unit

gem "rspec-rails", "~> 2.12.2"
gem "factory_girl_rails", "~> 4.2.0"

(we also standardize on using Factory Girl)
