Today's afternoon class is our first lab. This is a self-guided learning class.
During lab classes, the teaching team will be available to answer questions if you feel confused. Today is a "get out of Google free" day. Make sure you ask questions!
Do not expect to understand this material completely. We're going to cover all of this material in detail for the rest of the week.
Rails guides are an excellent resource whether you're a beginner or advanced.
