We totally forgot to tell you yesterday: we got tickets for eurucamp!!! By courtesy of ThoughtWorks! We are tremendously happy! Also we put our wishes into the RGSoC raffle - let's see if we can attend Baruco (Barcelona), Polyconf (Poznan) or Arrrcamp (Ghent). Keep fingers crossed!
Made the Fibonacci problem work but it' still weird code. So Erik introduced a fancy thing called recursion! Recursion is a function that calls itself that calls itself that calls itself .... until you make it stop through a conditional statement. Today, Erik's preferred way of explaining was hopping - might sound weird but it actually made us understand how multiple assignment in a loop looks like.
Our homework now is to make the code work with just one line of recursion code.
Also Brian Egan, web engineer at SoundCloud, gave a workshop on UX - just for us four Rails Girls! He guided us through the working process when designing a website and we actually did some hands-on work on an example. This workshop came just at the right time and will be super helpful in the future. Thanks again, Brian!
