Course Goals

The goal of Hydra Camp is to introduce new developers to the skills and tools they will need to successfully build Hydra based digital repository solutions. There’s a lot of ground to cover and you won’t walk out at the end of the week a complete expert, but we hope we’ll have provided you enough of a scaffolding to jump-start your own work and keep learning like the rest of us. We hope that the topics covered at Hydra Camp provide enough breadcrumbs that you’ll have a good idea where to start looking once you get home and start digging into problems on your own!

Supplies

Laptop & Power Supply
Headphones/Earbuds
Water bottle/Travel Mug

Location

Bass Library - Room L-01 (grid F3 on map)
WALKING - Meet in The Study lobby at 8:45am Monday morning, walk as a group - https://goo.gl/maps/kH3Cu

Prerequisites

If you have never used Ruby, visit http://tryruby.org for an interactive tutorial.
We’ll be providing a VirtualBox VM with everything you need for development, if you have time please install VirtualBox (download here) before class. Also install Vagrant (download here) if possible
Alternatively, if you want to run a local development environment directly on your laptop - RailsBridge Installfest has good instructions for getting your system setup: http://installfest.railsbridge.org/installfest/ - you can skip the Heroku steps.

...

Local Development Environment Requirements

If you’re using a Mac, install/update XCode & homebrew.
Install Git (on Mac, we recommend using homebrew to install git)
Install RVM + Ruby 2.1.5 using RVM `rvm install ruby-2.1.5`

(if you follow the installfest exactly, 2.0.0 also works fine)

Install Java 7 runtime (if you already have 6 installed, that also works)
Install Rails 4.1.9: `gem install rails 4.1.9`
Install a Text Editor of your choice. KomodoEdit is a popular free option. Many people use TextMate (not free). VIM is hardcore but some of us do it.
Create a (free) Github Account if you don't already have one: https://github.com/signup/free
Create Github SSH Keys and set them up for your development machine

NOTE: We’ll have help available in class if you run into any troubles getting your system set up. We’ll have the VirtualBox image configured with Ubuntu and the necessary tools to complete class exercises or can help install all necessary software locally.
