Framing WDI

You're all adults with 20+ years of experience as learners, and you know your learning history best. The purpose of the following exercise is to examine your learning history to identify your perceived strengths and weaknesses as a student, so that you can make the most of your experience in WDI.

Exercise Objectives

  • gain self-awareness as a student
  • gain practical repetitions working in the command line

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).

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).

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.
