LVL1 Summer Camp (2011)
LVL1 Summer Camp was a workshop that is occurring during the month of June, 2011, taking up every Saturday in June, from 1pm to 5pm.
Eagle Workshop
Links
Eagle itself: Eagle Download
Sparkfun parts library used for this workshop: Sparkfun Library
Dangerous Prototypes Parts Library: DP Parts Library
Sparkfun Keyboard Shortcuts, Appropriate for most layouts: Keyboard Shortcuts
CAM file: Sparkfun CAM, appropriate for GoldPhoenix
Board files we created
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.
Etching Workshop

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.
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.
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.
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.
