HackCWRU

Backend for the HackCWRU hackathon application.

Contributing

What's a Rails?

Never used Rails before? That's fine, perusing this should help you get started. Never seen Ruby code before? No problem! Check out TryRuby.

Getting Started

Presumably, you've ditched the tie and are looking slightly more human in front of your computer. Oh, you also probably know a thing or two about Ruby and Rails. Congrats! You're now qualified to start contributing to the project! Only a select few have made it this far.

Please refer to the contributing page in our wiki for some initial environment setup instructions, as well as for information regarding our contributing workflow (it's fork and pull - look at me sparing you experienced GitHub'ers a whole couple of minutes).

Actually Doing Stuff

We're using Trello to track everything that we know we need to do. Contact adam@case.edu to be added to the Trello (make sure he adds you to the backend board, otherwise you'll probably be pretty confused).

Bugs and new feature requests should be recording using GitHub Issues.

Happy hacking!

What use would our beautiful backend be if we didn't have some fancy smartphones to hook it up to? We've got repos for both iOS and Android which would love your contributions if you're feeling up for it.
