##What is Rails?

Rails is an open source web application framework written in Ruby. It is a full-stack framework that has been optimised for programmer happiness and sustainable productivity. It emphasises the use of well-known software engineering patterns and paradigms, including convention over configuration (CoC), don't repeat yourself (DRY), the active record pattern, and model–view–controller (MVC).

Extra: David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH) is the creator of Rails, having extracted it from his work on Basecamp. He first released Rails as open source in July 2004.

LevelUp Backbone Overview

#LevelUp Backbone Overview

Backbone gives us structure to our code

It has views, models, a router and the html

When dealing with code that works with data, we will deal with the model

When dealing with the logic for each page in the application, we will deal with the view

Accessing data based on the object type

#Determining how to access data based on the object type

  1. Call .class on the object that we have to see what type it is
  2. If it is an array, we can use the array methods (ie .first, .sort [])
  3. If it is a hash, we can use the hash methods (ie .fetch, h[:foo])
  4. If it is something else, we can ask what methods it responds to by doing foo.methods - Object.methods
