Preliminaries
-------------

### Admin

* I am still a bit behind, and did not have a chance to recheck the
  new version of Hartl Chapter 2 (or to read your journals).  I apologize.
* I think we are going to transition from starting Hartl chapters in
  class and finishing out of class to starting out of class and finishing
  in class.
* Yes, you are doing lots of little installs.  It's good to get used to 
  it.
* Friday PSA: <http://www.cs.grinnell.edu/~rebelsky/musings/friday-psa.html>

    * What do you see as the advantages and disadvantages of using
      scaffolding?
    * Pick three files created by the scaffold command (files that Hartl

    * What is something in the Chapter 3 reading that you'd like to
      discuss in class on Monday?
