What to Bring

So you’re signed up — now what?

A Laptop

Any intel-based Mac laptop would be ideal, second choice is something running Linux, and third choice is a machine running Windows. Why do we prefer Mac and Linux? The two operating systems share the common underpinnings of Unix. Most of the Ruby community uses Mac OS or Linux, so they’re the easiest to make work. Using Windows is totally possible, but sometimes it causes hiccups.

Note Supplies

Bring a pen, marker, highlighter, and a few sheets of paper for making notes, sketching wireframes, etc.
