Module 1 Week 1 Diagnostic

This exercise is intended to help you assess your progress with the concepts and techniques we've covered during the week.

For these questions, write a short snippet of code that meets the requirement. Fill in your answers on a second sheet of paper or in your notebook. In cases where the question mentions a "given" data value, use the variable given to refer to it (instead of re-writing the information).

These are notes from Tommasina and my DTR meeting before we began Headcount.

• Learning goals for the project: T wants to sticking with TDD, even when we don't know what we're looking for, A too; A's goal getting comfortable with parsing through CSV
• Collaboration styles: divide and conquering, one person do merge and pull requests,
• Communication preferences: Angela is comfortable with anything, slack, last projects used screenhero, talked on the phone
• Work style: T likes to work slowly and methodically, have to understand. Angela is about efficiency, doesn't have a lot of time to not be efficient, thinks about it when doing other things
• Last project: worked well: worked efficiently with Y, they weren't at Turing as much as others, but still got work done. split up when a concept that neither one knew what was going on, which helped (but not necessary for that project), what went poorly: time sucks with a concept that we weren't taught about and took a long time to figure out, tried to figure out why

The idea of Night Writing was first developed for Napoleon's army so soldiers could communicate silently at night without light.
The concept of night writing led to Louis Braille's development of his Braille tactile writing system.

This program converts latin character messages into Braille-like characters represented by blocks of 2 by 3 where a . represents an unraised space and
0 represents a raised space.

Examples:

0.
00   => h

How The Web Works

Today we are going to investigate the way the web works.

Materials:

• First let's read MDN HOW WEB WORKS.
• Next let's watch a few quick examples of how the internet works.
• And [how IP addresses work](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFooN7Mu0IM - how IP addresses work).
• Finally let's tie these things together and watch a video about DNS - what happens when you type an address into a web browser.

1. What is the purpose of the router in a Rails project? -It is the doorman to the app, matches the verb to the controller
2. What routes would be provided to you with the line resources :items? -Get index, Get show, get new, post create, get edit, put update, delete destroy
3. What does root :to => "items#index" represent? How would you access that route in a web app? -it tells the app where to go if the root url is accessed. You would access it like, www.items.com
4. What rake task is useful when looking at routes, and what information does it give you? -rake routes, outputs all routes available to the app
5. How would you interpret this output: items GET /items(.:format) items#index -In the items controller, the action is index, making a get request to /items with the option file extension, use the edit route
