Further to what Phi has said. Do you have any development experience, ie are you new to everything, or just Web Development? I think this might have more of a bearing on things than not knowing Rails.
If you do have experience than I think that turning up and working through something like this book http://pragprog.com/book/rails4/agile-web-development-with-rails would probably be a really good way to getting started with rails as you'll have a bunch of people around you to ask questions from etc... if/as you get stuck. Bearing in mind we have no internet, so you'd be advised to have the full rails stack working on your laptop before camp, so work through the first chapter or two before it. If you get stuck, post to this list :-) It's an un-conference so there will be adhoc presentations discussions etc... and a big room full of people coding away, sometimes on existing projects they have or people grouping up to create something new at the camp. --nahum On Fri, Jan 18, 2013 at 4:07 PM, Philip Arndt <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > The Rails Camp environment is perfect for you.
