Taking my own advice

Plugging away!

Have you been wondering where in the world I went? Sometimes you just have to experience life while it is happening. That is exactly what I have been up to:)

I learned a lot of Ruby in a short amount of time and really needed to digest before blogging about it.

What I like the most about Ruby is that it is an Object Oriented Programming language (OOPL).

Here are a few small projects that I worked. Each project was scripted with Ruby and then ran using the terminal.

• Always_three

1. puts“Give me a number.”
2. first_number=gets.to_i
3.  
4. def my_always_three_method(num1)
5. (((num1+5)*2-4)/2-num1)
6. end
7. puts“Always” + my_always_three_method(first_number).to_

• Numerology app

1. puts ‘What is your birthdate? Please enter month, day, and year.’
2. birthdate = gets
3. def get_birth_path(birthdate)
4. number = birthdate[0].to_i + birthdate[1].to_i +
5. birthdate[2].to_i + birthdate[3].to_i +
6. birthdate[4].to_i + birthdate[5].to_i +
7. birthdate[6].to_i + birthdate[7].to_i +
8. birthdate[8].to_i + birthdate[9].to_i
9. number = number.to_s
10. number = number[0].to_i + number[1].to_i
11. if number > 9
12. number = number[0].to_i + number[1].to_i
13. end
14. return number
15. end
16. def get_user_birth_message(path_number)
    
17. case path_number
    
18. when 1
19. number_message = “Your numberology number is #{path_number}. \n One is
20. the leader. The number one indicicates the ability to
21. stand alone, and is a strong vibration. Ruled by the
22. Sun.“
23. when 2
24. number_message = “Your numberology number is #{path_number}. \n This is
25. the meditor and peace-lover. The number Two indicates the
26. desire for harmony. It is a gentle, considerate, and sensitive
27. vibration. Ruled by the Moon.“

34.    trustworthy, hard-working, and helpful. Ruled by Uranus.“
35.    when 5
36.    number_message = “Your numberology number is #{path_number}.This is the freedom lover. The number Five is an intellectual
37.    vibration. These are ‘idea’ people with a love of variety and the

41.    stable, and harmonious vibration. Ruled by Venus.“
42. when 7
43. number_message = “Your numberology number is #{path_number}.This is a deep thinker. The number Seven is a spiritual

52. else
53. number_message = “I’v got nothing for you. You must be an alien!”
54. end
55. end
56. path_number = get_birth_path (birthdate)
57. number_message = get_user_birth_message(path_number)
58. puts number_message

• Fizzbuzz

1. i=0
2. for i in (1..100).each do
3. if  i % 15 == 0
4. print “FizzBuzz”
5. elsif i % 3 == 0
6. print “fizz”
7. elsif i % 5 == 0
8. print “Buzz”
9. else
10. puts i
11. end
12. i=1
13. end

One of my last assignments for the Web-development course was to create an ‘advice web page’ with HTML and CSS for people who are learning to code.  Here is my advice for all the code newbies out there!

Erin’s Advice

After struggling to get this baby pushed to GitHub, I decided that the next step for me was to take a class on GitHub itself.

I understand the purpose of Git and GitHub,  but haven’t mastered using the platform. I am now signed up for this free course by Udacity.

Although the Web-Developer course through Skillcrush officially ended on February 6th. I have access to all the material forever! Just another reason I highly recommend using Skillcrush.

A very special Thank YOU for all the Skillcrush instructors and classmates!

Enjoying my Life!
