- Why are you interested in programming?
- I love problem-solving. I know it sounds like a bit of a cliche, but I've solved almost 800 puzzles on CodeWars just for fun, and I see code as the medium for doing this. I've done a bit of that, Project Euler and Hackerrank, because having a puzzle to solve is like an itch I constantly need to scratch. Code is the perfect medium for doing this! I also like the fact that you can have a $20 laptop (I own two!) and write code, even if the person next to you has a $2000 laptop! In many other fields, not having the financial means to afford the best tools puts you at a substantial disadvantage.
- If you are accepted into our program, where do you see your career in 5 years?
- I would love to be either a data scientist or back-end engineer. I am not certain which one would be a better fit (maybe both?) right now.

#Ruby For Beginners : Setup
Greetings Rubyists:
We hope you are excited to learn Ruby. Before the workshop, we need you to set up your development environment with Ruby and a text editor. Choose one of the three options listed below.
- Use an online development portal. This is a simple approach and you can do it from a Mac or Windows. You will be able to practice writing Ruby code without installing anything on your computer. At some future time, you will want to get ruby installed and ruby on your machine, but you don't have to for tonight.
Instructions: Create an account at cloud9. - Install Ruby, Sublime, and Git for a Mac. Skip this step if you can type
$ gem install sinatra
in your Terminal and install the sinatra gem without any errors. - Install Ruby, Sublime, and Git for Windows Skip this step if you can type
