Developer Automation Tools Bootcamp by tfitch

Welcome to the Developer Automation Tools Bootcamp

More information is available on README Page. This site is where the meeting content will be uploaded.

Getting your machine ready for Bootcamp

The core of the projects we will work on are located on Vagrant boxes. So you will need to Install Vagrant. The VMs you will use are defined in a Vagrantfile in most project's workouts. If you are attending a live session of the Bootcamp your instructor will have copies of the VM available on USB drives.

Beyond having Vagrant running on your machine please complete the following steps.

Have a GitHub account
Install Git on your machine so you can commit code and push it to GitHub.

Meeting Topics

Workouts

Every topic will have a workout to be completed. You won't fail the bootcamp by not doing the workout, but you probably will learn a lot more by doing than just reading/watching/listening. Worse case scenario from doing the workout - you'll have a bunch of new tools installed on your machine when you're ready to play with any of this stuff.
