A list of resources that aspiring Rails developers can use to learn Rails and other relevant technologies. This list includes some resources that I see recommended all over the web--not all of which I like--as well as some hidden gems that I've found valuable. This list is intended to supplement my blog post here.

Ruby

• Codecademy

M4 Reflection

Fork this gist and answer these questions to reflect on your learning experiences.

• What brought you to Turing? Desire to learn more and have a career where learning is encouraged and supported. I get bored easily and programming will keep me busy with constant learning.

• Where do you see yourself after Turing? Having a cool job that will empower me to help other change their career paths and actually enjoy what they do. In the long run, I would love to travel while working remotely.

BASH

What is the Shell/BASH?

Shell is a command language. Over time people have developed different varities of shell by adding extra features

  • It is a command processor that generally runs in our terminal. When a user types a command an event takes place.
  • Checkout this Wiki For more info
• Other types of command processors
  • zsh - Another type of command processor that is extremely powerful. It was built off of BASH but has more features. You can customize it to autocomplete github repos. Unlike BASH, zsh does not follow POSIX standards.
• tcsh

1. What does it mean to concatenate files? Find an image of an example concatenated file. Why would we want to concatenate files? It means to bring files together, in one place.

2. What does it mean to precompile files? What does this have to do with coffeescript and sass files? Precompile files is to use/convert a higher languange into a web browser deliverable language.

3. What does it mean to minify files? Find an image of an example minified file. Why would we want to minify files? It means to strip out the trailing whitespaces.

4. Start up the server for Catch ‘em All (rails s) and navigate to http://localhost:3000/assets/application.js. Then open up the code for application.js in your text editor. Why are these not the same?
