- Erik introduced us to exercism.io, a page where you can solve riddles, submit your code and have it reviewed by other people.
- had a look at Heroku and played around a bit with deploying an application there. Exciting!
- ticked off another word on our keyword list: self. Use it if you want to define a method on the class itself by typing def self.method_name. You can also use self inside an instance method if you want to refer to the instance.
- prepend: similar to include, but inserts the module one class below in the ancestor hierarchy. This comes in handy when you want to use super and want to refer to another module.
- talked a bit about Minitests. Whereas RSpec uses domain specific language. e.g. it …. should, expect(something), …. Minitest assumes you know Ruby and the way you define tests is by defining a class and methods for this class. The methods begin with test_ and whatever comes after the _ equals is the "it should”.
- with Klaus we refactored some more our game using delegation (lamps and genies now have their own draw method and the know wether they are flipped and good or evil).
- Today Lisa from the Rails Girls Berlin chapter stopped by our office and showed us all the games she already made using JavaScript and Lua. Cool stuff! Also she encouraged us to go and visit hackathons and crypto parties. Will do :)
