Step One: Watch Sorting Algorithms in JavaScript DONE

Step Two: Fork this gist. ALSO DONE

Step Three: Respond to this question in your fork: "What are some of the balances and trade offs between different sorting algoritms?"

The common theme is that some sorting algorithms are very performant, but take up a ton of memory and others are slower algorithms that do not take up as much space. A good comparision is between insertion sort and merge sort. Insertion sort is O(n2) which isn't great, but when dealing with smaller datasets can be usefull when memory comes at a premium. Merge sort on the other hand is O(NlogN) which is very good but does take up more resources. They key take away is that there isn't a one size fits all solution to which sorting algorithm should be used, but you should take into account the constraints that are placed upon you.

1. Add gem 'rails_12factor' to your Gemfile. This will add error logging and the ability for your app to serve static assets.
2. bundle
3. Run RAILS_ENV=production rake db:create db:migrate db:seed
4. Run rake secret and copy the output
5. From the command line: export SECRET_KEY_BASE=output-of-rake-secret
6. To precompile your assets, run rake assets:precompile. This will create a folder public/assets that contains all of your assets.
7. Run RAILS_ENV=production rails s and you should see your app.

Remember to clobber your assets (rake assets:clobber) and re-precompile (rake assets:precompile) if you make changes. Add public/assets to your .gitignore

Define CRUD.

CRUD stands for Create Read Update & Delete. It allows us to create resources in a database, read or 'get' the resource to display, update a resource without overwriting the original resource and delete a specific resource from the database.

There are seven verb + path combinations that are necessary in a basic Sinatra app in order to provide full CRUD functionality. List each of the seven combinations, and explain what each is for.

All resources: get '/resources' (ex. get '/tasks') => gives us a list of all the resources through a index.erb file that gets interpreted to html.

One resource: get '/resources/:id (ex. get '/tasks/1) => gives us the specific resource through a show.erb file that gets interpreted to html.
