... when Jasper showed me his 99cats website with 20 times more cats than mine, AND “put down” a cat named after me in fornt of me.

Week 4, Day 2:

Haseeb’s lecture videos last night were super fun to watch. He made me laugh out loud several times. The videos were long! He went over many concepts/topics such as cookies, encrypting, salting, rainbow tables, and authentication in general.

My partner today is going to be Sam. I get the impression that I’m going to learn a lot from him. This is better than Christmas!

Week 4, Day 2: rails on rails

Today we continued working with rails, this time integrating views, which render content for the client. Jonathon and I ran into our share of errors but generally have the hang of basics of rails methods and html / erb syntax. I enjoyed the instant gratification of refreshing the webpage and finding our results displayed -- plus one for front-end dev I guess.

W4D2 Cats!

Instead of just rendering objects in json and printing some boring json objects back to the browser, we're now utilizing views, forms, and links to create an actual website. Our project for today was to clone the site that got shut down, 99dresses.com, except ours is cat themed. We haven't fully fleshed out the site since we haven't learned anything about authentication yet, but that'll come tomorrow. For today, we built some cat models, some relationships and making all of that available on views.

The model associations were very simple since we only have 2 models. My partner and I were able to finish the basic functionalities early so we started using some bootstrap to make the site look better, and it definitely looks way better than just text-based links and unorganized forms.

Tomorrow we'll finish up the site with a user model and allowing users to log in and out so it'll actually be like a real website, which is what we came here to learn!!

Here's my cats project so far without the user stuffs: https://github.com/Teaflavored/99_cats
