Lewis Jones

A determined and ambitious junior Software Developer with a strong desire to learn.

I strive for quality and craftsmanship in everything I do and am looking for an opportunity to further my knowledge whilst contributing to real-world projects and problem solving.

After working in Retail Logistics for five years, I decided to move into Technology. I taught myself what was needed to get a job in Application Support at Gorkana, and was quickly promoted to Senior Engineer and then Team Lead within two years. During this time I was learning to program Ruby and PHP at home, and wrote some PHP and Perl at work. I realised programming was what I wanted to do, so applied to Makers Academy to accelerate my learning. I am now looking to join a company who will foster my first steps as a junior developer and give me the opportunity and support to develop my craft.

The script below can be used to export your calender dates from google calender to google sheets.

Turns out google sheets allows you to write scripts as .gs files which is basically javascript with some specific features for querying and editing google docs files. Just like the developer mode in Excel but in a nicer language.

Original script I based this on was found here: http://blog.cloudbakers.com/blog/export-google-calendar-entries-to-a-google-spreadsheet. I edited it for my needs.

To use open a new file in google sheets, click on tools > script editor. Paste the code in and put your email address and the date range you want.

Select export_gcal_to_gsheet and click play.

	# While having issues with to_partial_path on a view model giving inconsistent results under differing name spaces of controllers
	# I use the below to see that the look up path and view paths were on an controller and modify.
	# I've never put the below into production. This is merely something I found while experimenting.
	# To sort my issue I used the prefixes avaialable and changed name spacing to give correct behaviour

	class SomeController < ApplicationController

	On my instagram clone I used foundation for the styling and created a topbar element with a links to the index page, logon, and sign up.

	There was a strange issue that If I clicked on any of the links on the page the page would reload with the top
	part of the page being under the topbar. Also I would get rails JS errors if my like link (which uses JS) was clicked.
	The strange thing however was that I refresh the page or go to the url directly I would not have an issue.

	After googling around I discovered the issue was caused by Turbo links.
	From what I understand Turbo links tries to make your website act like a single page app however this messes around
	with JQuery as it loads the page in a differen way froma normal refresh so JQuery $(document).ready does not get called.
	This stopped my JS from working and Foundation also has it's own JS/Jquery for making things look nice etc.
