week 1

Nov 7, 2016 at 11:00 am

This past week has been a whirlwind. I started my first week of bootcamp and it was pretty intense. There was so much information being thrown my way that even with my pristine lawyer-taking abilities, I know that I did not catch everything. Nevertheless, I am trying to keep up with the regular habit of blogging about my experience as close to real-time as possible.

Things that I learned:

Bash commands
Things to try when you are feeling stuck in a problem
Pair programming
Benefits of working on open-source projects

Ruby inheritance
The keyword: super
attr_reader
attr_writer
attr_accessor

How to install packages in Sublime
Ruby Linter

Ruby Modules

CSS and HTML
Bootstrap
Materialize
Chrome Dev tools - cmd + option + I

Rails
rails server
controller
router.rb
html.erb files
embedding html in ruby files

Yesterday, we made our first rails application. I am definitely going to keep working on it so that I can demo it as a project.
