Ruby on Rails Explorer community vision
The goal of this badge is to build a community of Rails enthusiasts sharing stories and helping each other learn. Here's how we'll do it.
- Get 10,000 Rails explorers to share their learning stories
- Use the stories to build lists of most every available Rails learning resource available
- Compile the resource lists into a map of suggested learning pathways for new learners to follow
