What does it mean to precompile files?

• It's when all of your code is complied into a transmitable single string that can be moved from server to user.

What does this have to do with Coffeescript and Sass files?

• Coffeescript is like a higher level version of javascript that almost looks like ruby. Once it's been compiled it looks a lot more like true javascript and is more ready to be "browser readable".

Does it only have to do with Coffeescript and Sass files?

What does it mean to minify files?

What’s the difference between Authentication and Authorization?

1. Define CRUD.

• Create
• Read
• Update
• Delete
• ^^ all possible database interactions

2. Why do we use set method_override: true?

• HTML does not support put or delete, so it allows us to override the existing method/verb.
• It has something to do with making POST requests look like other request methods (like put or get).

QUIZ:

1. 1a - Describe, step by step, what happens when I type www.example.com into my browser and try to go to the page?

• Your computer's browser looks up the IP address for www.example.com. If it's not in it's internal DNS it will look to local, or your ISP, or the Backbone for the IP address. It will keep digging until it finds it. Finally, the server you are seeking will return a response to your request and send back data. When it sends a response it will trigger your client to make multiple relevant requests to ask the server to send back the packets it needs to complete the final resulting page on your client browser.

1. 1b - What does HTTP stand for?

• Hyper Text Transfer Protocol

2. What protocol does the World Wide Web use?

• HTML

Padraic,

I've really enjoyed getting to know you better while we've worked on this project. I've spent more time with you in person or online than I've spent with my own family and now it feels like you're almost a cousin or a long lost brother. I'm always impressed by your knowledge. When you or I hit a dead end it seems we can find eachother a "way out" and a place to continue on. I think, given the crazy circumstances we both encountered during this project, that we still complemented eachother's working and learning styles better than could have been expected. I would encourage you to keep pursuing refinement of test driven development. You're doing great work and I think that even better tests will push you far ahead of the pack in your abilities. Thanks for all of your hard work, patience and inspiration. It's been a fruitful experience. Keep up the great work.

Hashes are Heterogenous, meaning it can hold a mixture of data types.

Let's start with a basic hash:

hash = { Jackson: 17, Sarah: 19, Johnson: 25, Mike: 75 }

Now let's play with that hash! Pay attention to the return values!
