Here's a quiz for people who are just getting started learning web-application development. Most questions are specific to Rails, others are generic. Each question is a link pointing to my corresponding answer as i understand the concepts the today.

I just started the second of the 3 TeaLeaf courses for back-end web-application development using Ruby on Rails.

So, i am finally done developing the web-version of the BlackJack game! Like i mentioned in the previous post, it was suggested in the TeaLeaf course to use procedural programming to keep it simple and focused on web application development learning!

This calls for a brief pause from learning/practicing OOP. The focus of this exercise is getting to know the underlying concepts of how the web works.

My better-half is a software developer with a rich experience of 10+ years. She absolutely swears by Test Driven Development (TDD). And seems to have all the right reasons for preaching it, as far as my limited knowledge goes. I read up a bit about it and watched a few screen casts too.

Before i developed the console-based Black Jack, i tried developing a slightly simpler game, also console based: Tic-Tac-Toe. Here are the problem statements for both the apps:

These are generic notes made when i learnt the basics of Object Oriented programming using Ruby.

I have starter trouble… always. I either spend way too much time 'planning' and 'collecting information' when i want to start something new, or, the other extreme (but less often), just dive right into it and then suffer due to under preparation.

This is a quick reference guide for using ‘pry’ gem for debugging Ruby code.

As the title suggests…
