Welcome to Phase 1

Hello and welcome to Phase 1 of the Software Engineering Immersive! In this first part of the course, we will introduce you to a variety of concepts, starting with object-orientation in Ruby. Then, we'll introduce databases and incorporate them into our Ruby code, retrieve data from remote sources, and finish by building a project to bring everything together.

However, writing code is a small part of what developers do. This section contains a variety of lessons specific to your first day in the immersive course. Topics include:

• Setting up your local environment
• Your first group project
• A review of git concepts
• The programmer mindset

Remember, learning how to program is more than just that knowing how to code. The rest is knowing how to learn, how to ask questions, how to communicate with your peers, how to find resources, and how to solve problems.
