Add section about to event guide about using Terminal / Editor / Browser

Open ksaa opened this issue 13 years ago • 6 comments

Henrietta: So after tryruby.org (the first three excersises) the coach or person doing the excersises should open the terminal, texteditor and localhost browser.

Talk about programming workflow, tell people to save (when making changes and seeing it happening in the browser to remember to save it) ... Also mention that when running the server, you can't type commands in that terminal.

Karri did this in Bln and it really helped.

@ksaa do you have your slide deck you used available, or did you even use one? I forget.

I had like on slide with the images, but I dont know if that helps that much. You need to demo it anyway.

@ksaa hey, so by the event guide, do you mean this? https://github.com/railsgirls/railsgirls.github.com/blob/master/_posts/2012-04-18-guide.markdown#saturday-workshop. It already has a section about it, "The tools we’ll be using: browser, terminal, code editor, folder structure", under the 11:00-11:30 Introduction to Programming.

Maybe we should make it a more prominent part of it and allot more than 30 minutes. That seems like a short team to do all the things highlighted.

@hone I think it should be own section, not part of the introduction to programming. It doesn't need to be super long, but basically you go through the tools couple of times, with together with the railsgirls tutorial and chant the words "terminal, editor, browser".

Also, maybe a separate slideset would help to remember name these :) I can make an edit.
