Trails to help designers and developers learn various topics.

Trail 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.
