Intro - 10 minutes

  • How to use pry
    • Install the gem
    • Using it in the terminal
  • What it's good for
    • Learning what Ruby is doing that you don't always see
    • Figuring out errors in code

Live coding hopefully with audience participation - 25 minutes

  • Going through collections to better understand what's going on while we manipulate then.

Bug Fixing - 20 minutes

  • Going through some intentionally broken code and seeing what the error is and how to fix it with pry.
    • Using examples from Scrabble from collections and Deaf Grandma from drills.

Summary/Takeaways -5 minutes

  • Being able to play around with Pry lowers coding pressure
  • It's a good tool to figure out where something is going wrong or not meeting our expectations.
