Sam Landfried's prework
Empathy has been a tool for navigating professional and social situations. Without empathy, we're just pinballs bouncing around, reacting to whatever bumper we collide with. Empathy allows us to handle interactions with others in a way that is more productive and enjoyable for both parties that making decisions based solely on our personal condition at the time.
You make software for a user. Someone, at some point, has to interact with that software. If you can't anticipate the user's needs, you will deliver an unsatisfactory product. Depending on the user, you might be in a position to imagine what the user needs that the user might not even realize.

An integer is a whole number, a float includes a decimal value
A bignum is a number that exceeds the storage capacity of a fixnum. I'm not sure at ### what point that distinction occurs, and I'm not sure what different methods are available on both.

Week 2 and 3 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.
Define a class called PizzaOven which has a method cook_pizza which returns the string "mmm 'za".

Sessions, Cookies, and Flashes
Sessions, Cookies, and Flashes
- If we didn't have cookies and sessions, what would happen?
- We wouldn't be able to persist anything that didn't exist in our database. We'd be at the mercy of the stateless model
- What is a cookie?
- An insecure hash like object that persists data across sessions.
- What's the difference between a cookie and a session?
- A session's data is serialized making it more difficult to manipulate its contents
- What's serialization and how does it come into play with sessions?
- Serialization protects the contents of a session object. It requires a special key to deserialize it. The key is held by the Rails app.

Group Member Names: Danny Radden, Jonathan Kidd, Maria Stenquist, Sam Landfried
- 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?

Group: After class - 7 pm Maria: Birthday on Saturday. Wants to meet mornings.
- What does it mean to concatenate files? Find an image of an example concatenated file. Why would we want to concatenate files?
- File concatenation is combining files. This saves us time when loading assets because the browser needs to make fewer external calls.
- What does it mean to precompile files? What does this have to do with coffeescript and sass files?
- Precompiling converts higher level languages into their base language. SASS -> CSS. Coffeescript -> Javascript.
- What does it mean to minify files? Find an image of an example minified file. Why would we want to minify files?
- Minifying a file reduces it to the smallest size possible while retaining its functionality. For example, variable names are compressed to single letter values, and white space is stripped out.
- Start up the server for Catch ‘em All (rails s) and navigate to http://localhost:3000/assets/application.js. Then open up the code for application.js in your text editor. Why are these not the same?
