Out of all the exercises, I really enjoyed number 20. Although this is one of the more popular ones, I think this is the intention of Linda Liukas. Everyone can personalize each exercise to their liking.

I chose to do activity 15 in Hello Ruby. This was a Sudoku challenge using computer icons instead of numbers; it was really fun to match each bit up with its counterparts. Hello Ruby is a very unique book, in that it is covering a vast amount of avenues here. Gender roles in math and science, generational technology gaps, and the use of technology in young ages are just a few topics that can be discussed after reading this. The author’s TedTalk was inspirational in giving insight into why she decided to write this book and her genuineness for doing so.

I did exercise 19, because I felt that it was interesting to know what makes up the sizes of files and videos that we have on our computers. The picture above were my guesses and I got a couple wrong actually, which goes to show that knowing the biggest byte sizes could help me conserve my storage space. A holiday picture is actually 1 megabyte, and one kilobyte would be the equivalent to a paragraph of text, and a short video would be close to a gigabyte. These activities are a fun and diverse way to help readers learn more about coding through practical and easy examples, the author did an excellent job on portraying computers as a positive learning apparatus.

A great talk by Linda Liukas, author of the wonderful children's book Hello Ruby, on the mission of RailsGirls, and some of the unique perspectives that its teaching methods can bring to women trying to learn Rails. Worth a watch.
