Sample application for developing slides for GMU Rails course.

Steps:

• Clone the repository
• Run rake db:setup in order to create your database and populate it with the seed data
• Run rails server (make sure you aren't running another server, or run on a different port, e.g. rails s --port 3500
• Navigate to http://localhost:3000 (assuming you ran it on the default port 3000)

Also note that we've incorporated Twitter Bootstrap ( http://getbootstrap.com ) for CSS layout and styling. We also have a custom form helper (bootstrap_form_field) which does some nice styling during form validation. In the Gemfile, you'll see that we added the 'bootstrap-sass' Gem which lets you write Sass instead of plain CSS for Bootstrap.
