Ruby Tuesday

We spent most of today actually writing in Ruby, which was a lot of fun. Thus far, it seems like the approach for this portion of the class has been to focus initially more on logic and less on syntax — pulling in the syntactical learning only after the logic is more firmly fleshed out.

This has definitely resulted in a few code execution hiccups, but I feel like it has been helpful — at least for me — to approach these problems from a conceptual level and then find and pull in the tools needed to get the program to run correctly.

Things we talked about and worked with today:

  • Variables
  • Methods
  • Iteration (Hashes and Arrays)
  • MiniTest
  • Class
A couple of prompts and from today and the corresponding functional code
