Module One Final
About Me
My name is Manuel Martin and I am currently on the Immersive Software Engineering Programme at Flatiron School, London Campus. I am studying Software Engineering at university, just finishing my first year.
Just finish module 1, in thins blog I will talk about the different thing I learn during the module.
I have finished my Project using the different elements that the module teaches.
We have covered several things at the module one to be able to do our final project:
1)Ruby:
It has been so fun and entertain work with ruby as its syntax is close to English in so many ways. This allowed me to solve problems in my code just by thinking what I will ask the computer in English step by step till I solve my problem.
Now there are many different interesting features at ruby, but i think any other features save me more code at the begging than the “attr_accessor”. This save me few lines of code each lap, believe it or not save you time.
Example of “attr_accessor”:
This will be the full code just to initialize and have a method to be able to read and change each of the instance variables.
But without the attr_accessor I will have to do the code below for each of the instance variables:
The code is nothing that will take long to do but any way is save you time that could be use in a bigger problem.
2) SQL
Well about the SQL code i have done something similar but without the coding was more graphically.
Though out my experience with database I realise that I don’t like database, you everyone have their coding likes and for me SQL is not my cup of tea.
3) Active Record
Well active record manages the SQL code for me, so this is way more interesting for me. Even if I must know SQL to use so I can understand what is doing but I really like syntax of Active record.
I know that SQL is important for any programmer to do anything big, whatever is a app, program or even an interactive web page. You will end up using database so Active Record is a good way for me as I don’t like to write SQL code.
This will be the relation of Active Record with SQL and my code in ruby
I like image as it made us lough a bit which is always nice when learning, the diagram was made by my instructor Dan.
