Wed Development on Rails

This document provides an introduction to a Ruby on Rails training being conducted by James and Dana Gray. It discusses the structure of the training, including introducing the teachers and having students introduce themselves. It also provides an overview of what will be taught in the training, including building web applications using Rails, with roughly half the time spent on hands-on labs where students will build a working Rails application.
