As I mentioned on the mailing list after the hackathon, I will assign some small labs so that you can self-teach some key concept in software development and open source collaboration.

The first topic is Ruby Gems. A Gem is a unit of Ruby code, often libraries and frameworks that you wish to share with others. Gem is specific to Ruby, but most programming languages have something like Gem (the jargon is "packaging system"). Here is a non-exhaustive list:

This assignment is meant to get you up to speed on RubyGems.

1. Read the Rubygems guide. Definitely read the following articles:
   • What is a Gem?
   • Make your own Gem
   • Name your Gem
   • Publishing your Gem
2. Create and publish your own RubyGems. The above reading should get you all the information you need. If you get stuck, feel free to ask questions, but I also encourage you to google (which is an important skill in software development) The name of your Gem can be anything.
