Deliverables:

First, create a new Gist on Github. Copy and paste the markdown from this template into your gist.

This Gist will be your submission for your intermission work. Each of the assignments includes a Check for Understanding that you must complete in your Gist. Some of the assignments will also ask you to include a link to a GitHub repo.

Deliverables are due 5:00 pm the Saturday before the module begins. Prework must be completed in its entirety in order to be successful in Mod 2.

Assignments

Work on the following assignments in order. Each assignment will assume that you have completed the previous one and the accompanying Checks for Understanding. Ruby 3.1.1 and Rails 7.0.4.x are required.
