Overview

How this workshop is structured

We will all be working off the reading_meow github repo located here: https://github.com/BintLopez/reading_meow

This workshop is divided into 6 sections:

1. Overview of testing
2. RSpec set up in Rails
3. Testing Models
4. Testing Routes and Controllers
5. Testing Views
6. Testing Business Logic

Each section after the intro has a branch for you to check out as a starting point and as an ending point to look at solutions. If you get stuck in one section -- no worries -- you get a fresh start with each new section!

If you have questions...

I will try to stop for questions at the end of each section. However, if you have burning questions or get stuck or confused, tweet at me!

I'm @Bint_alBeatz on the Twittersphere!

Branches in Sequential Order

Note -- as we go through the curriculum, each new section will designate your starting branch to check out.
