Task C: Turing Culture: Developing Empathetic Programmers
Reflections:
What role does empathy play in your life and how has it helped you?
Empathy plays a
How does empathy help you build better software?
When starting a project, we have ideas and notions about who our end users are, what they need, how they'll use our software, etc. By being empathetic and working with the end user and putting myself in their shoes, I can develop a product that is aligned with their actual needs, it can help identify new opportunities of improvement and identify issues I hadn't considered.
By placing the person at the heart of the project, I can develop a real solution for their needs.
Why is empathy important for working on a team?

Diagnostic - Week 1 - Natalia Colome

Week 1 Diagnostic

Create a gist and answer the following questions.

Floats and Integers

  • What's the difference between a float and integer? A float has decimals (4.56) and an integer is a whole number (4)
  • What's are the similarities and differences between BigNum and FixNum? FixNums become BigNums when they are too big.
  • What will 4.0 / 2 return? 2.0
  • What will 1.5.to_i.to_f return? 1.0

Week 2 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. In cases where the question mentions a "given" data value, use the variable given to refer to it (instead of re-writing the information).

Use single (`) and triple backticks (```) to container code snippets.

  1. Define a class called PizzaOven which has a method cook_pizza which returns the string "mmm 'za".

Module 1 Week 4 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 description or snippet of code that meets the requirement. In cases where the question mentions a "given" data value, use the variable given to refer to it (instead of re-writing the information).


1. Give one difference between Modules and Classes.


You use Classes when you want to have instances of that object, Modules don't generate instances.  Difference = instances


2. Defining Modules

Guiding Questions to Define The Relationship:


What are your learning goals for this project?


Natalia: Extraction and analysis of information from files. Remember to do TDD


Charlie: Keep it organized. Aim for fully functional.


What is your collaboration style? How do you feel about pair programming vs. divide-and-conquer approaches?

Strengths & Storytelling Reflection Guidelines


Build on your professional story by thinking about how you're progressing at Turing. Answer the questions below in your own gist to use your StrengthsFinder themes to add to your story:


    

  • Look at your initial StrengthsFinder reflection that you completed in week 1 -- how have your perceptions of the top 5 themes changed?
    • 



In general my perception hasn't changed. The phrases that stuck out to me keep sticking out, and I do see a lot of myself in those descriptions. Now that I'm aware I have those strengths, I'm leveraging them better and I feel more confident because I know I have them.


    

  • How are you different today than when you first started at Turing? Where are you stronger now than on day 1?
    •

Check for Understanding


    

  • What terminal command will return information about your routes?
    • 



rake routes


    

  • What 5 pieces of info will rake routes give you?
    • 



(1)the prefix, (2)verb, (3)uri pattern and (4)controll#action for each route; and a (5)list of all our routes.


    

  • Give an example of a link to a cats edit page named “Edit”

Checks for Understanding


    

  • Why do we namespace things?
    • 



To assign context and create a different scope of responsability (maybe limit access, have different functionality, etc).


    

  • What is the difference between namespacing and scoping?
    • 



When we assign a scope we only change the URI pattern, with namespacing we change the prefix, URI pattern and controller#action so we can call it on their own and thus creating a new 'umbrella of responsability'
