I have been following the big Facebook scandal, and it seems that the general public is discovering that big companies like Facebook has a lot of information on their users. As big of a scandal this is, I do not think that this is “news”. I see it as a wake up call, because believe it or not, we have entered an age where a lot of our private information is being stored on tables. Google may have even more information on you than Facebook does, especially if you use Google chrome, and have chrome on your cell.
Reflecting back, I remember when I first started my course at Flat Iron. I was a novice in Scratch, and I knew I had a lot to learn. With the persistence and hard work, I am now creating curriculums to teach others how to program. I am currently creating curriculums to teach web development in the front end (HTML, CSS, and JS), as well as the back end in Python, which is not something I specifically learn through Flat iron.
For my Sinatra Portfolio project, I created a project sharing website. At the Coder School, we teach kids computer programming, and I saw that we needed a way to share different projects for our students to work on between Code Coaches that work there. On this CRUD app, you can create projects, edit the projects so you can add additional information, any links to the projects, and the type of project that it is. I feel that it is a good way to share project materials between Code Coaches so that our students have a wide variety of projects to work on, and our Code Coaches can find projects that are well suited for the students they have.
Today marks the day I made my first gem in Ruby. I am very proud of what I have accomplished and would like to share with you!
You are at home and you are getting ready to go to the concert of the year! Shoes? Check. Wallet? Check. Cell phone? Check. You are about to walk out the door, but wait. Keys! Where did you put them? You search the house frantically, and 10 minutes later you find them. On the floor. Under a pile of clothes… Now you are late picking up your date. How could have you prevented this situation? By putting your keys where they are supposed to go. In the key bowl. Think of your house as your IDE. If you keep your house organized, you will know where all of your Objects are, and you will encounter fewer issues(bugs) when you are trying to find something.
