===== GadgetLab TriLife blinker files =====
OK, this wasn't part of summer camp but it's here if you want more Eagle practice. [[GadgetLab_Trilife_Blinker]] is an Eagle layout project to route a board that contains about 10 parts and fits in a small footprint. The board controls the brightness of a LED depending on what neighboring boards' LEDs are doing. From the University of Louisville GadgetLab class.

==== References ====
*[http://www.amazon.com/Design-Patterns-Ruby-Russ-Olsen/dp/0321490452/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1305291175&sr=8-1|Design Patterns in Ruby, by Russ Olsen]
This book is both very readable (a rarity in tech books) and a fantastic introduction to Ruby for someone familiar with the GoF design pattern implementations in other languages. It has a quick Ruby syntax primer in the beginning, then jumps straight into the patterns.

*[http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Ruby-1-9-Pragmatic-Programmers/dp/1934356085/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1305291335&sr=1-1|Programming Ruby 1.9, by Dave Thomas, Chad Fowler, and Andy Hunt]
This is the latest edition of the book commonly known as "The Pickaxe" in the Ruby community -- in its first edition, it was the first comprehensive English-language reference for Ruby, and was therefore indispensable to someone just getting started with the language. The latest edition is still a great reference book to have around.

*[http://www.amazon.com/Agile-Development-Rails-Pragmatic-Programmers/dp/1934356549/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1305291555&sr=8-1|Agile Web Development with Rails, 4th Edition, by Sam Ruby, Dave Thomas, and David Heinemeier Hansson]
Agile Web Development was co-authored by David Heinemeier Hansson, the creator of Rails, and was the closest thing that the Rails community had to "The Pickaxe" for Ruby, in its first edition. The authors have done a great job of cleaning it up and keeping it relevant, and the latest version covers Rails 3.

*[http://www.amazon.com/Rails-Way-Addison-Wesley-Professional-Ruby/dp/0321601661/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1305291830&sr=1-1|The Rails 3 Way, 2nd Edition, by Obie Fernandez]
Obie heads up the Florida-based Rails consultancy, Hashrocket, and was an early adopter of Rails, coming over from the Java camp. He's been a vocal advocate of best practices in Rails for just about as long as Rails has existed, and his book helps to explain not just how to do things in Rails, but why.
