This guide will make Turing's mod 1 much easier than it otherwise would be.
We'll do this by working on, (and completing) a few dozen small Ruby exercises.
You might be thinking:
Josh. This already sounds like a lot of work. I just finished my prework, and I know Turing's gonna be brutal. Why should I do all of this optional work, instead of enjoying my last few days of freedom?
Good question. The answer is a digression into the topic of tortured analogies involving screw bits, how to learn hard things, and why you should do drills.
Project: Battleship
Group Member Names: Sejin & Nathan
Goals and Expectations for the Project (What does each group member hope to get out of this project? What do we want to achieve as a team? How will we know that we're successful?):
Solidify concepts we have already been introduced to as well as practicing working as a pair on a project. Taking steps toward proficiency in writing good Ruby code. As a team we obviously want to complete the project, but also do so while practicing working effeciently in pairs. Being successful in this project is having hiccups and overcoming them.
I am lover of the outdoors and seeker of challenge. I am pursuing a career in computer programming and am looking for meaningful employment where I can merge my management experience and love of working with people into a fulfilling career with opportunities for future development and growth.
For the last 12 years I worked, in some capacity, in the mental health field. The last 6 years I have served as Case Manager and life coach. I have always been drawn to helping others and dedicated my career to creating unique, safe, and supportive environments to allow others to push their comfort zones. I have always utilized challenges in the natural environment to help drive this process and was wildly successful with this.
You have three options for this assignment. Each one will cover a datastructure you will most likely encounter at some point in your technical interviews.
