<h2>Setting Expectations</h2>

<h3>Is this the right session for you?</h3>

<li>You want to understand the basics of REST</li>
<li>You&#8217;d like to go through the fundamentals</li>
</ul>

<p>This is <em>not</em> a good session for you if:</p>

<ul>
<li>You are a Rails developer</li>
<li>You think this is the &quot;Advanced Patterns&quot; session</li>
<li>You don&#8217;t want to try Ruby/Rails</li>
</ul>

<h3>Are you prepared?</h3>

<p>You need:</p>

<ul>

<li>Ruby 1.9.2 or greater</li>
<li>Rails 3.1.3 or greater</li>
<li>To open <em>three</em> terminal or command prompt windows and change into someplace you want to store your projects</li>
