The topic I chose to research is Ruby / Ruby on Rails. I was initially looking for just Ruby articles but it was difficult to find consistent articles that didn't mention rails along with Ruby. I was curious of what I could tie into what I know and how it would be to learn as a programmer as opposed to a new student. I know that Ruby works very well with Rails, ruby libraries are called gems, and I have heard that Ruby on Rails is important to learn because that is a good starting point for Ruby development. I'm hoping to find out why Ruby is an important language to learn as well as how other languages like Python abstract from Ruby.
Ruby is very fast for development because of the many tools it has ready to implement without a hassle. When you add Ruby on Rails into the equation, you can solve problems up to 1.5 times faster than other frameworks. Ruby on Rails has the ability to cache project data from when you first build your application. It also has the ability to cache individual blocks of code or en

1. Why you want to connect with this person and what you want to talk about

• I know this doesn't count as warm outreach but I was looking at companies and RedBubble seemed like a great fit and I really wanted to email them about junior dev positions and if they would consider hiring out of a bootcamp. That's all I can really think about in regards to networking and such

2. When you will contact them by and how you plan to meet

• I have their email and have been trying to write it in a way that doesn't sound like I'm hounding them or being rude. Just inquisitive. From there, I don't know about meet ups but if it gets to there, they would probably be remote meet ups considering they aren't based in Denver and I ride a bicycle

3. What your follow-up will look like once you've met with them

• Probably just keeping the door open. Checking in every so often and asking more questions when they come up

4. What other steps will you take to start building a stronger network in the tech community?

• More in per

As a high schooler, I was lucky enough to start in a multimedia class which turned into a programming class. Throughout my 4 years of high school, that class was my favorite to be in and the teacher was amazing. I quickly new that I wanted to be apart of the tech industry in some way or another. After I was shown HTML and CSS, I fell in love and quickly became an important part of our webteam. After the first half of my junior year, I decided I didn't want to go to a college that was going to make me take classes that I didn't care about but I still wanted to pursue the passion I had for programming and design in general. I satrted to research and found some good community colleges for Computer Science and then I found bootcamps like Galvanize and Turing. I took multiple tours of each and decided that the bootcamps were the right path for me. I am looking for a place where I can put the same passion for programming everyday and love what I do.

What have you learned about the use of agile vs. waterfall in software projects? Agile is great for things that you need to learn about while on the project and waterfall is more like everything is thought out before hand with no learning

How did you and your group approach project management in this project (what tools did you use, how did you hold each other accountable, etc.)? We were agile most of the way through, meeting up after school and over the weekend as much as we could but at the end i kind of fell off because of some stuff I had to do at home and I didnt communicate the reason why which prolly coulda been better.

What role did you take on in the project? I don't know what role I took. I created some code, had some ideas, tried to learn things.

What changes would you make to your approach in future team projects?
