Update on Ruby and Rails learning experience

Posted on June 28, 2018 by christine

Reading Time: 2 minutes Even though I may not be writing about it, I am continuing my deep-dive into the word of Ruby.  At work I am mostly focused on Rails.  My app is Rails, and the tickets I am working on are Rails (with some haml and scss thrown in, yay for learning some front-end development!).   Currently I…

Finding out how little you know about Git

Posted on June 18, 2018 by christine

Reading Time: 2 minutes I haven’t been a Git user for a long time, I have just been actively using it since January. That may not sound like a long time, but for a developer using a tool for over 5 months is almost as much as some projects take (if you are lucky) or as long as a…

Posted on June 12, 2018July 24, 2018 by christine

Reading Time: 2 minutes So picture this, you are sitting down at your desk, loaded up your tutorial, terminal, editor and have muted all your slack channels, you are ready to go.  But now you have to figure out something to listen to so you can tune out everyone in your open office, but what should you load up?…

Posted on June 8, 2018June 11, 2018 by christine

Reading Time: 2 minutes I learned new techniques and tools today, but they definitely aren’t very relevant for my job but they were fun to work on.  I just animated my first slack emoji today, and learned a ton in the process.  If you too would like to be the rockstar on your slack channel, buckle in and I…

Posted on June 6, 2018 by christine

Reading Time: < 1 minute Sometimes there is just so much information and resources that making the first step takes a long time to decide, just because you don’t where to start.  There are so, so, so many free amazing resources for learning ruby that I keep on getting distracted jumping from one to the other.  Today did not feel…

Reading Time: < 1 minute I’m not only new to ruby, macOS, but also to WordPress. Since at my new workplace, WordPress is kinda a big thing, I knew that I needed to learn this too. I am still trying to get a handle on themes and how to edit the look and feel of the website. I want to…

Ruby Koans – Day 1 Progress

Posted on June 5, 2018June 6, 2018 by christine

Reading Time: < 1 minute Slow start at first, but I think I am picking up speed.  equals and == sucks, they mean the exact opposite that they do in Java.  Ruby, == is equivalence (.equals in Java), and use .equal? to check if the objects are the same (== in Java).  That’ll probably hang me up for a while. …

Ruby Koans – Is this the path to Ruby enlightenment

Posted on June 5, 2018June 6, 2018 by christine

Reading Time: < 1 minute Ok going forward I am trying out iTerm for my terminal and Visual Studio Code for my editor. Don’t know if these are best practices or anything, but when I was trying to pull down code from GitHub in just the default MacOS Terminal, it felt clunky.  So I am running through the Ruby Koans…

Reading Time: < 1 minute It’s 2018 so it seems like a good time to start a blog.  That’s a thing still right? It must be if my default wordpress theme has it. So I find myself starting a new career. I did this to myself, so I only really have me to blame.  I am or I was a…
