HTML5 and CSS3

There are lots of good resources on the web, feel free to google. I like http://www.w3schools.com for reference, as well as https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/.

I'll probably be using the Bootstrap CSS framework to make it easier to visuall style the apps that we write in class. http://getbootstrap.com/

For a cool reminder of the difference between CSS and HTML, try http://csszengarden.com.

See the Bootstrap Grid Cheat Sheet in this repository.

How to run Ruby scripts

From your command line:

ruby {filename}

You can also use the irb interactive utility to run Ruby expressions one at a time.

Ruby Data Containers

The two main containers we will use in this class are Arrays and Hashes.

Links to official documentation:

• http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.2.0/Array.html
• http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.2.0/Hash.html

For arrays, the most common methods are:

• count
• size
• each
• first
• last
• sort
• map
• select
• empty?
• shuffle
• sample

For hashes:

• keys
• values
