OriginalTrail map
How do I learn Ruby on Rails? Vim? Test-Driven Development?
Our apprentice program has forced us to formalize our answers to such questions.
A few problems make those questions difficult to answer. Individuals:
- have different levels of experience
- have different learning styles
- change their goals mid-process
A good metaphor for the learning process is a (hiking, biking, or skiing) trail map. Individuals:
- start in different places
- want to go to different places
- change direction mid-journey

This repository contains trails to help designers and developers learn.
To use these, you may want to first set up your laptop with this script and these dotfiles.
