HTTP quiz!

Quiz time!

  • What does the dot mean in in StringIO.new, what does the hash mean in StringIO#puts?
  • How do you make a String literal?
  • How do you make a String without using a literal?

This is an HTTP request, it is a String that is sent across a Socket, which your program can read from as if it were a file or $stdin.

01 POST /users/5?omg=wtf&amp;bbq=lol HTTP/1.1\r\n

More strict web URL regex for validations. (better then URI.regexp)
require 'uri'
hostname = "(?:(?:[\\w\\-]+\\.)+[[:alpha:]]{2,})"
host = "(?:#{hostname}|#{URI::DEFAULT_PARSER.pattern[:IPV4ADDR]}|#{URI::DEFAULT_PARSER.pattern[:IPV6ADDR]})"
server = "//(?:#{URI::DEFAULT_PARSER.pattern[:USERINFO]}@)?#{host}(?::\\d*)?"
absolute_path = "(?:#{URI::DEFAULT_PARSER.pattern[:ABS_PATH]})?"
query = URI::DEFAULT_PARSER.pattern[:QUERY]
http_uri_regex = Regexp.new("\\A(?:http|https):(?:#{server}#{absolute_path})(?:\\?(?:#{query}))?\\z", Regexp::EXTENDED, 'N')

This is my technical interview cheat sheet. Feel free to fork it or do whatever you want with it. PLEASE let me know if there are any errors or if anything crucial is missing. I will add more links soon.

ANNOUNCEMENT

I have moved this over to the Tech Interview Cheat Sheet Repo and has been expanded and even has code challenges you can run and practice against!

This is our current Travis configuration for our standard Rails 4 + Ruby 2 projects that have Capybara Webkit test suites and Postgres databases. It relies on the bundle_cache.rb and bundle_install.sh files from http://randomerrata.com/post/45827813818/travis-s3 to cache gem bundles for much faster test suite setup time.
