Rails and PostGIS

Please read these two blog posts by Daniel Azuma for background (they are from 2011 but are still quite relevant):

Geo-Rails Part 1: A Call to Revolution

Geo-Rails Part 2: Setting Up a Geospatial Rails App

Then install PostGIS and make sure it works well with Rails by following the Install documentation for active-record-postgis-adapter.

Please submit questions or problems installing PostGIS to the Starmonkeys Google Group.

I will post a google hangout link in the whiteboard at the beginning of class.
