For those of you that want are thinking ahead to the Rails app assignment for the 11th of April, here's what I'm looking for:

• Create a simple Rails app - following along with Depot is fine though you might want to do something a little closer to your own domain or area of interest.
• Keep in mind some things have changed in Rails since AWR was published - if you have questions or run into problems shout!
• On the 11th we'll spend some time talking about Rails in general (along with other topics) so be prepared to discuss your experience building a sample app.
• Before class on the 11th, email me a paragraph or two about what you think of Rails, your application, etc. You don't have to put anything into Word, a simple email is sufficient. Questions to think about: what do you like about Rails? What don't you like about Rails? Where might Rails fit in your organization?

Thanks - and if you have any questions or concerns you know where to find me.
