Pseudocode
July 27, 2012 by szabcsee
As a beginner programmer probably you have to face many difficulties or rather call them challenges. First getting your head around learning the basic theory and syntax might seems a bit frightening but soon you realize that with the help of the so many online tutorials, communities and reference books, you can get through the process pretty fast. The real challenge comes when you already finished your "Write your first CRUD application" tutorial and you are about to get your hands dirty and write your own application. (more...)

The lost functions of Ruby
June 11, 2012 by szabcsee
Most programming language has functions. Most languages allowyou to create functions of some sort. Functions let you chop up a long program into named sections so that the sections can be reused throughout the program. Functions accept parameters and return a result. If you look for functions in Ruby, you don't find them. It is because they called methods.

Methods on the Blocks
June 8, 2012 by szabcsee
In my next lessons with Lynda I went through a few new methods which are extremely useful. Today we check out .merge, .collect/map, .sort, .inject. These methods are extremely useful to deal with our code blocks and data. (more...)

Develop for existing database in Ruby
June 4, 2012 by szabcsee
A short story and a problem, how you develop an application if it needs to use an already existing database structure? Rails generates models,controllers and does scaffolding with close to no effort but what if you have your on ideas about database structure? And without Rails you need something to make Ruby work on the web. Let's find answers. (more...)

Constants
June 1, 2012 by szabcsee
Let's see quickly another object type in Ruby. We don't use much Constants as they are very similar to variables the only difference is that they should stay constants while variables change. The other difference is that we specify them with all capital letters. But there are a couple of corks with them we need to recognize. I created a small screenshot which explains it all. (more...)

Ranges
June 1, 2012 by szabcsee
Ruby ranges can be a helpful tool for the programmer
So here is another Ruby object type called Range. If we have some numbers we can have them as an array like:
Array => [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
or we can just say here I have the numbers:
Range => 1..10
It makes a lot of sense if you talk about a large amount of numbers like a 1000.
So instead of [1,2,3,4,5,6.......,998,999,1000]
you just say 1..1000 (more...)

Numbers in Ruby
June 1, 2012 by szabcsee
A friend of mine got a trial account for lynda.com and offered it to me so I immediately jumped on their Ruby essentials course. Lynda.com is a pretty good investment if you have time. They offer a wide range of courses in all fields and they are really good quality. Well presented, easy to understand, lot of practical examples and the 25 bucks / month is relatively cheap.
But let's get into Ruby and it's numbers. I'm not going to go to all details but show you a few interesting stuff which are unique in Ruby or they were interesting for me. (more...)
