Link won't open for me. Edit: A cached version: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:MEzmvcy...

Heads up: With the cached link make sure you click "text only" and it will load right away.

the site is currently down it seems, maybe because of the level of traffic - I left Satish a message.

[mellifluousmind → mwk]

Now even the cached version doesn't respond either. Definitely interested in Rails, and hopefully, the site will be back up soon.

We have over 600 participants in 2 days. I am sure there are many more who would join. Are you there?

Nice work Satish; I could pick up Rails and coding simply because of your support. Thanks and keep it up. - Arvind

Greatest timing ever! Just started learning ruby and rails. If some noob here is also interested, other resources (other than classical google,stackoverflow, youtube) I've found very helpful are lynda.com and peepcode videos. Thank you for this.

You may want to work through Michael Hartls' "Ruby on Rails Tutorial" (http://ruby.railstutorial.org/) as well

[danneu → jaryd]

I think Hartl's tutorial is a must. At least the first three or four chapters. It's probably the fastest way to get on the road with Git, Github, Heroku, and TDD from square one.

[re_todd → danneu]

Totally agree. Even though I went through the Agile book previously, I went through half of Hartl's tutorial primarily to learn how to use Rails with Git, Heroku, and TDD.

I'm sure I will be able to sign up when the site is back up, but I'm a little sad it's not working right now. I am eager to join.

Resolve link, this is of great interest.

[carlsednaoui]

The site is back up!

link problem

[IndianGuru → octaped]

The site should be working now. Hacker news traffic was the culprit - not blaming it though! Over 870 participants so far.

Great timing. I have recently started learning ROR and I would like to know how the course will be structured. Will it be a form of webinar or screencast?
