Sorry for all the bad puns in the title... it may become a running theme...
Major activities of the day: Explored how Git deals with branching, merging, and rebasing. (We were introduced to GitX(L) today - fantastic tool for visualizing repos!) Installed a bunch of software and got our systems ready to code without being distracted by missing software or messed-up settings. Installing software from the command line can be scary, but when you're in a supportive group and have instructors who are always ready to help, it's much easier to get past the fear and, well, just do it! We also got the chance to tinker around with our Bash profiles. Here's what my prompt looks like (showing my current path, working branch, and a robot smiley to keep me motivated):
~/Development/code/amcaplan.github.io (source)

Skills developed: Git, command line, software installation, system customization
QOTD: Sorry, wait 'til tomorrow for a great quote! I wasn't paying enough attention today - too focused on the work!
Tomorrow we start Ruby. Best of all, RSPEC also starts tomorrow - TDD (or will it be BDD?) from Day 3!
