Week 6: Object-Oriented Design in Ruby

Last week you started creating your own objects in Ruby. This week you will be working with something called Object-Oriented Design. There are two great resources we want to encourage you to add to your library. The Well-Grounded Rubyist is an excellent reference that will help you better understand the many intricicies of the ruby language. You should feel comfortable recognizing most, if not all, ruby syntax (although you are not expected to be able to use it all). We also recommend Practical Object-Oriented Design in Ruby (affectionately pronounced "Poo-Dur"). There aren't free copies online, so if you don't want to shell out the bucks to buy it (although we highly recommend it) use the mighty power of google to introduce yourself to the fundamentals of object-oriented design.

Don't forget your Expectations for the Unit (listed below)!

Challenges

  1. Testing with Assert Statements
  2. Drawer Debugger
  3. Creating a BoggleBoard Class
  4. Creating a PezDispenser Class - SOLO CHALLENGE or Create a Playlist from Driver Code - SOLO CHALLENGE
  5. Refactoring for Code Readability
  6. Technical Blog
  7. Cultural Blog
  8. BONUS Creating a Car Class from User Stories

Fetch the curriculum changes!

It's time to fetch the new curriculum from Devbootcamp/phase_0_unit_2. Use these instructions and modify them to use phase_0_unit_2 (instead of phase_0_unit_1). Try using the "command line" instructions!

Completing the challenges

Open your local version of the directory in Sublime. Make your changes and commit/sync as you complete challenges. Try using the command line as much as possible to navigate between directories and run files.

Make sure to include specific commit messages and Push your changes each time you complete a challenge.

Remember your Expectations for the Unit!

  • Pair at least once this week with a member of your accountability group. You need to pair 4 times this unit
  • Give feedback for each person you paired with. You need to submit at least 5 pieces of feedback in this unit (4 for peer-pairing, and 1 GPS)
  • Rate at least 7 pieces of Meta Feedback on Socrates. *You need to rate 20 pieces of feedback per unit.

Submitting your work

You need to submit your work on the Unit 2, Week 6 submission form on apply.devbootcamp.com by Sunday at 11:59pm. Expect to submit the links from your repo for each challenge above.

Link Issues in the Repository

You now know enough to fix broken links in your repo! If you run into a 404 error navigating through the directory online, go to the file where the error is, see what the link is. Is it to an internal or external file? If internal, do you see a file named something similarly in the repo? If so, you'll want to figure out why the link is broken and fix it. If it's to an external resource, Definitely let us know if a link is broken so we can fix it, but take some time to research it as well.
