Rails Development Checklist

Warning: This checklist uses a happy path model, meaning it does not rely on TDD to build up the rails app. Additionally, it uses names of routes, models, controllers, and views in code snippets, so make sure to replace those names with the names of those things in your project. Most references are from

1. Create Rails Application

• From the command line, start a new rails app. For example,

  rails new blogger -T -d="postgresql" --skip-spring --skip-turbolinks

Project Reflection

• What is one thing that went unusually well during this project? The willingness to try each coding idea that was presented. I believed that allowed us to explore all avenues for solving the problem. Everyone was often available and made changes in his schedules to accommodate other members. He had a positive attitude and were open to all approaches to solving a problem. Each person took the time to answer questions about the code and how it interacted with other classes.

Mod 3

1. Industries: Banking, Data Engineering, Data Management, and Artificial Intelligence Companies: Angaza, Treasury Prime, GitHub, and Covariant
2. I chose banking because I believe the current banking system in the U.S. is plagued by out-dated thinking that has not let the industry harness new technology to make banking easier for consumers. Treasury Prime is an example of a company that wants to harness the technology of APIs to make it easier for businesses to make new innovations in banking. I chose data engineering and management because data is the backbone of web technologies. One set of interests I have is how to secure data integrity and how to provide that data to those that need it for analysis. I think working at Angaza dealing with consumer tracking and payments would be one way to serve those interests. I chose Artificial Intelligence because it can not only make menial tasks easier, but also make dangerous jobs safer by allowing robots to take risks humans should not take.

Split string method

String split method is initiated by using the syntax .split at the end of a string object. An array is returned as a result of using the split method. If just .split is used, without parenthesis, it will return the string object in an array with each sub-string object being split out into an individual object inside of the array. The sub-strings are split off based off of the location of whitespace in the original string object. It is possible to modify how the original string is split by providing arguments to the .split.

• For example: .split(//) will genreate an array that has each individual character in the original substring split off from the original string, including whitespace.
