Setting Group Expectations

Group Member Names:

• Jhun
• Charissa
• Ryan

1. When are group members available to work together? What hours can each group member work individually? Are there any personal time commitments that need to be discussed?

- Mission

The purpose of this tutorial is to mimic setting up a DigitalOcean/AWS EC2/Linode server. The main advantages of having a virtual machine is that you can learn without worry of breaking things.

The first lesson will be all about getting familiar with a headless machine and getting a language we all know and love (ruby). Then we can mess around and try things out purely in the terminal.

The only three good options for a text editor are: emacs, vi, and vim. We will be using vim but vi itself is great and comes by default on Ubuntu 12.04.

Now you can practice getting used to ssh'ing into headless machines, using terminal based text editors, and using a terminal based window/session manager (tmux). The reason we have to use vim and tmux is that there is no X environment in a headless machine (the GUI, graphics, pretty things, etc..). The main reason for this is to save space on precious costly SSD data.

**Step Two**: Fork this gist.

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

**Step Four**: _Totally Optional_: take a look at some of the other forks and comment if the spirit moves you.

Step One: Watch Mary Rose Cook Live Codes Space Invaders from Front-Trends. (The second worst conference name ever?)

Step Two: Fork this gist.

Step Three: Respond to this question in your fork: What is one approach you can take from this Mary's code and implement in your project?

• The approach that we took out of Mary's video is to break every "object" used in our game into objects. Then let those objects be in control of rendering themselves and updating themselves. I really liked the way that every object was responsible for its own actions. Object oriented programming at its finest!

Step Four: Totally Optional: take a look at some of the other forks and comment if the spirit moves you.

• Watch Recursion

• Fork this gist

• Answer the following questions in your fork

  • Do you pronounce 'babel' in the same way?

  • Haha! No I don't. And I though that I was the only one that caught that!

    • Follow Up Question: Will you now?
    • I don't think I could get away with pronouncing it like that. Although I would if I could get away with it :)

• What is an example of why/where you might use recursion
