7 years ago Actions performed for Week 1:
- Followed Command Line Crash Course from (https://learnrubythehardway.org/book/appendixa.html)
- Read Jeff's guide on Git (https://github.com/TeamMoodGitHub/Jeff-Resources/blob/master/VersionControl.md)
- Read Learn Ruby the Hard Way up to Exercise 7 (https://learnrubythehardway.org/book/ex7.html) - will continue
- Followed Ruby on Rails guide to completion (guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html)
- Learned more about MVC in Rails as a result as well as Rails architecture/layout/repository structure.
- Also modified pages and hooked up some controller actions in the tutorial.
Idea: A web application that keeps track of your own social media consumption. Like a quick bullet journal/diary that allows you to look back on such things as books you've read, shows you watched, movies, etc. Some stretch goals could be adding long term graphs, reminders, or other notes for yourself based on the data collected.
Plan: This week will focus on two areas, research on a high level on how the application should be structured, as well as getting more familiar with Rails and MVC architecture.
For the former, I am asking Ashley to understand models and how they structure databases, what kind of objects / types make up database objects in Rails, and how to manipulate them and why they are important in the context of this project.
For the latter, I would like Ashley to begin experimenting with Rails architecture, creating her own view + controller combo, understanding the layout and repository structure of Rails better, and taking the basic steps to modify a few pages and hook up a few controller actions.
