GitHub Pages for apprenticeship documentation pull request

@neilrenicker @justinhillsjohnson

Hi Neil! Checking in on the GitHub Pages static site for the Sparkbox apprenticeship documentation. Is there is anything that would be helpful to have that wasn't incorporated in my initial pull request to your gh-pages branch? If so, please let me know -- I'm happy to make adjustments or additions and would love to hear any feedback or nitpicks you might have.

Cheers,
Louisa

Rails 3?

Hi folks,

I notice that in your readings for Phase 3, you list the Rails 3 Way. I also notice that the CodeSchool Rails tutorials are on Rails 4, and some of the world has moved on to Rails 5. Fernandez has written books for the Rails 4 Way and the Rails 5 Way. I don't know how different these "ways" might be, but you might have a better idea. Is there a particularly reason you still list the Rails 3 book for the curriculum? I'm trying to figure out where I should put my own attention as I work through the curriculum, and which versions of Ruby/Rails I should install/learn/focus-on. Any advice you have on that would be most welcome.

Thanks!

Provide basic training on the command line early within Phase 1

We ask the apprentices to learn git early in the apprenticeship, but we've also seen a gap in the command line experience/knowledge. Somehow we need to account for this to some extent.

Include process section

Thinking about the design/dev flow, but also element collages, iteration, priority guides, audit, style guides, etc.

Try Jasmine link is no longer valid

The "Try Jasmine" link in Phase 2 Additional Resources goes to http://tryjasmine.com ; unfortunately, that's now a porn site.

I looked for an alternative, and one thing I found was this:
http://try-jasmine.herokuapp.com/
I cannot immediately discern how that site works or if it might be similar to the old site, but I'll point out the flaw and hope you're able to replace the link with one that best represents what you're hoping to share.
