Christmas Time

This has been an eventful week, with my brothers surprise Christmas visit and wonderful Christmas. I have only got four hours of studying done this past week, working with 'slightly dynamic' pages with the ROR Tutorial from Michael Hartl. I had an unfortunate error with github where instead of updating the main branch with the side branch I managed to return back where I started before the Statics pages branch.  Which while a little depressing, is getting me a little more familiar with github.

Finished up to 3.2 of Michael Hartl Tutorial

I have studied 10 hours so far this starting from Sunday. Chapter 3 deals with tests and test driven development (TDD ) something I really haven't had a lot of exposure to in the past. Although in my last programming class, (Computer Programming For Engineers), the professor provided makefiles, which automated compilation and tested our programs for specific results.

Finals are done !!!!!!

I am done both my finals but I didn't get a chance to do much ROR, but now that school is over I plan to make up for that.

Code Retreat

Spent a Full day doing pair programming at the code retreat on Dec 8th, trying to make Conway's Game of Life in 45 min sessions, and then starting from scratch except the last 2 sessions where the code from session 5 was retained and everyone returned to their original partners.

Delayed post

I got a little over 4 hours studying done with Josh on Sunday, I finally realized that the videos for learn ruby on rails in a month, were for the whole month and not just the first week.  So while I don't think it would have been a terrible value if the course had been advertised as "How to create a simple app using Ruby on Rails." as Josh commented in his review it failed to deliver on its promises.

Video watching is almost fun

Today I spent 2 hours watching videos, and for another hour I'm programming c for college homework
