LA Rails Learners - The Parallell Project

Homework for each week can be found in issues.

Vanilla Rails

We are starting out this project by creating a vanilla Rails App. Once built you will have the base from which you can build any number of other applications.

Our Vanilla Rails Base App will include

An new instance of a Rails App

kytrinyx commented:

Let's work together on Tuesday at the meetup to get this implemented as part of these two endpoints:

GET /problems, implemented in lib/app/routes/problems.rb on line 32 (the test is in test/app/routes/problems_test.rb on line 60)

lib/app/routes/problems.rb

Starting Out with Python 3rd Edition Chapters 7-13 - Tony Gaddis

Chapter 7

Sequences

sequence - a sequence is an object that holds data, stored one after another. You can perform operations on a sequence to examine and manipulate the items stored in it.

A list is a sequence and a tuple is a sequence.

Python Chapter 7 >>>

##Lists and Tuples

Sequence - an object that holds multiple items of data stored one after the other. You can perform operations on a sequence to examine and manipulate the items stored in it. (Java has atomic data)

Lists and tuples are sequence types

List is an object that contains multiple data items. It is mutable is an Array - it is dynamic, items can be added and removed. You can use methods index, slice to work with them. It can hold different types.

Primitive data types - you use these data types to create variables which are storage locations in the computer's memory - they have no other built in capability other than storing a value.
byte short int long char float double boolean

conditionally executed -
block - statements in a group
George Boole - 1800's mathematician
string - a sequence of characters used as data
string literal - a string in the code
numeric literal - a number in the code

Chapter 5

keyword argument - spefies which parameter variable the argument should be passed to

parameter_name = value

pass by value - a function CAN NOT change the value of an argument that was passed to it

Chapter 4

repetition structure - a loop - write code once put it in a structure that repeats as many times as necessary

condition controlled loop - while loop - uses a true false condition

while loop (pre-test loop) condition controlled loop - uses a true false condition
