Week 1, Day 2 Homework review
# Create an array of all of the students in our class. Assign it to a variable named "our_class".
our_class = ["Caleb", "Andrew", "Alec", "Maggie", "Danny", "Dallie", "Emanuel", "Shane", "Pete", "Joe", "Tad"]
# Find all the students whose first name is less than 5 characters
our_class.select{|student| student.length < 5}
# Turn a sentence into an Array, and select the words that are four characters long.

Client Documentation CMS requirements

Here's what I have in mind:

  • Individual logins limited to particular client account. No need for deeper authorization past that. Account, has_many Users
  • Table of contents listing related documents, with last-updated timestamp
  • Ability to download (styled) PDF version of the current document state
  • Full-text Search
  • Email notifications for account creation, document creation and document update
  • Branding per account and overall (logo, colors)

Nice to have:

Slap-dash notes from Mig Reyes' talk at re:build 2014

re:build 2014: All the Wrong Things

Presenter: [Mig Reyes][2409-001]

  • Working for [Basecamp][2409-002], previously worked for [Threadless][2409-003]. Also a teacher
  • We think of speakers as experts.
  • "I'm probably an expert at not being an expert."
  • There are all these titles ... What the fuck? Is this industry playing a joke on us?"
  • At the end of the day, we're all web makers
  • Rip up your business cards. We end up doing the work we do because our business cards say that's what we should be doing.

Better Schrödinger joke

Schrödinger and Heisenberg are driving from Vegas to California when a cop pulls them over.

Officer: Do you know how fast you were going?

Heisenberg: No, but we knew where we were.

Officer: Did you know you have a dead cat in the trunk?

Schrödinger: Well, now we do.
