Organization Systems (if your answer to any of these is none - let's change that! If you need help finding something, let the group know and we can brainstorm):

• What tool/system to you use to track your to-do list? Trello!
• What tool/system do you use to calendar your time and ensure you remember appointments, deadlines, etc? I use google calendar and set alamrs.
• What do you use for a timer for worktime/pom breaks?

Deadline

• Deadline for the last commit on Master is 5:15 (README commits are fine after deadline).
  • If you have job/family related interruptions, note when and for how long in your submission gist and tag that time on to your deadline time as an extension, if needed.
  • You may continue to work on another branch after the deadline but it will not be considered in the eval

When you start working with WebPack for GameTime, you'll notice that you can't just define a variable in one file and find it in another as easily as you can in Rails.

Read Node.js, Require and Exports and Organize Your Code with RequireJS

Fork this gist and answer the following questions:

• In the context of Node, what is a module? In node a module is any file that includes a 'module.exports' statement allowing that code to be required in other files.
• The code examples from the second blog post look very different from the first. Why? The second blog post is using RequireJS to achieve basically the same effect with different syntax. It seems as though RequireJS only allows access to the imported functions when wrapped in a require function.

Models, Databases, Relationships in Rails

What is the difference between a primary key and a foreign key?

Primary key is an identifier that is used to identify an item/object/thing/row in that table. A foreign key is the primary key of another table.

A primary key is unique in its table. A foreign key does not need to be unique.

• Define CRUD.

Create Read Update Delete.

• 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.

/some_object GET - to provide an :index view that includes all the objects /some_object/:id GET - to provide a :show view that includes a single object /some_object/new GET - to provide a :new view that includes a form to create a new object /some_object POST - to actually create the new object and redirect to another route

Introduction to Sinatra

1. What is the purpose of the server file (routing)?

Take input from a client and figure out what to do with it (e.g. what to return, what to change on a server, what to delete, etc.)

2. How do you pass variables into the views?

ERB can reference an instance variable from the server file. Can also send variables as locals. In the code below the :number symbol in the :locals hash is what will be used in the erb template to reference the variable, number (not a symbol) references the number variable in the server file.
