RVP(Ransomware Virus Protection)

I was curious on how to prevent a Ransomware Virus from completely destroying someone's computer files, so I did some research and came up with this program. It creates a backup of the file with a file extension of your choice. This way, if the file type is not a recognizable file type by the virus, it doesn't get encrypted. You guys can improve this code or use it in your projects if you want. http://www.mediafire.com/download/2rb668f1m5lb5os/RVP+Master.zip

Ruby on Rails Is Not Impossible to Learn

The job outlook for software developers is expected to grow by 30% from 2010 - 2020 with a median pay of $90,530 per year according to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. If you want to start a career as a developer taking the time to learn Rails is a good place to start but is no easy task for someone just starting out. Though Ruby on Rails may be hard for a newbie to learn it is not impossible to learn. I decided to create a list of useful resources that helped me (and a few others) make the transition from novice to pro. This list of tips and resources is as follows:

Become familiar with the Ruby Programming Language - The more comfortable you are with Ruby, the more you increase your ability to become a stronger Rails developer. Before diving into Rails, familiarize yourself with the Ruby programming language. A few good resources that I came across during my learning phase are Try Ruby, Ruby Monk and  Codecademy's Ruby track. If you're like me and enjoy a good read a nice book that I highly recommend is How to Program by Chris Pine. 

Understand what Rails is - A solid and fun introduction to Rails is Rails for Zombies. This is a free Code School course that covers the basics of Ruby on Rails and is a good way to get an idea of how the Rails framework works. Another way to learn more about the architecture of and the philosophy behind the Rails Framework is to read and work through the "Getting Started" section of the official Ruby on Rails Guides.

Read a book that covers the Rails framework - To take a deeper dive into Rails, a good book to go through is Michael Hartl's Ruby on Rails Tutorial: Learn Web Development Rails (also available online for free). This book is awesome because Michael Hartl not only provides a solid introduction to Rails; but also covers test-driven development (you can read more about it here) using Rspec (a popular Ruby testing tool) and basic Twitter Bootstrap (a popular front-end framework). In this tutorial you'll build a fully functional Twitter clone that you will deploy to Heroku. Code Crew is currently running a study group based on this book and you're more than welcome to join us!

Add some features to your sample app from the RoR tutorial - Now that you have a basic Twitter clone up and running you should now add more features to your application. For example, your Twitter clone can easily become an Instagram or Tumblr clone if you enable it to handle image uploads and post comments. A good site that details how to add cool features to your Rails app through 10 minute screencasts that you should definitely check out is Railscasts, which is maintained by Ryan Bates.

This post is intended to be a suggested roadmap to help you learn Ruby on Rails. Feel free to add any suggestions or additions to this list in the comments section below or email me at jamal[at]codecrew.co if you have any questions. Until next time. Code long, code strong!

--- Jamal started learning how to code a little less than a year ago and currently works as a fullstack web developer at a startup in SoHo. When Jamal's not helping people learn how to code through Code Crew sessions, you can find him blogging his inspirations or shooting street photography and short documentary films around the five boroughs. Say hello on Twitter, @jsogarro.

Coding Job: Are senior dev's always hard to get along with ?

It is not uncommon to see really experienced and senior developers come off as "hard to get along with", mainly because they're generally very busy, focused on solving hard problems, and its not their nature to socialize. They're wired like that. The best ways to work with them are -

Do your homework before approaching them - their time is precious. 

Before you ask a question, try to find the answer elsewhere - in most cases, you'll find the answer in Google. Don't ask questions that Google can answer :)

Don't repeat the same question - no one likes to be asked the same question again and again.

If you're going to discuss an idea, think about all the pro's and con's and the value proposition well. Don't go with half baked ideas.

Lastly, impress them with your code. Write really efficient code. Small or big. They love that :)

Bottom line: keep calm and go back to coding :)
