Energy Management Evaluation

You're now in week 4 of WDI, and you have enough coding sessions under your belt to know what's working for you or what isn't. The purpose of this exercise is to examine the past 3 weeks and articulate a plan of action for maximizing the remainder of your WDI experience.

Directions

  1. Create a file called energy_management.md in your w04/01/Classwork directory.
  2. Within your newly created file, articulate responses to the following questions:
  • What learning environments have worked best for you outside of class?
  • What habits, working conditions or thought patterns have hindered your progress?

Intro to Yield

  • write a method, yields_to_block, that yields to a block and executes it just once.
    • invoke yields_to_block without passing it a block. What happens?
  • write a method, encore!, that yields to the same block twice.
    • invoke encore! by passing it a block that prints the title of your favorite song to the console.
  • write a method, applaud_all_acts, which takes a block and executes it 5 times. After each execution of the block, the method should print (applause) to the console.
    • invoke this method with some golf-related code. Golf people applaud everything.

Admin User Stories

  1. As an admin, I can seed the database with a json file of cheeses, so that I can develop and test my application better.
  2. As an admin, I can visit a minimalist index page that shows all of the cheese resources.

The PG Gem Cheatsheet

To use the pg gem, you first have to require it.

require 'pg'

Great, now to open a line of communication between your Ruby program and your postgres database, you will use the PG object's ::connect method, passing it a hash with key-value pairs for :host and :dbname).

Event Listener Sandbox

We started adding event listeners to the divs on the DOM. Now it's your turn to add additional event listeners.

Exercise Objectives

  • get meaningful reps adding event listeners to DOM elements.
  • stop event propagation where appropriate
  • practice self-directed learning

Timers Continued

We just added some timers to our page as a class. Now it's your turn.

Directions

  1. use setInterval to add a <p> tag to the page every 5 seconds. The new paragraph tag should read, "Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, hey Jude"
  2. Set a timeout so that after 15 seconds on the page, an <p> tag appears. The <p> should be red in color and read, 'Wow, you must really like this page...'
  3. Add a click event listener to the lone`` element on the page. This listener should disable the interval and the timeout that you set in #2 and #3, respectively, as well as remove the button from the DOM (We won't be needing it anymore).
