Posted in Ruby Scripts & IRB Discussion

Thanks Tahir! Again my apologies for the export on this video. I will make sure this doesn't happen going forward.

Posted in Integers & Floats in Ruby Discussion

Thanks a bunch, Tahir for the kind words! Sorry about the resolution though! I think these were early on videos for me and perhaps I didn't export as best as I could have done. I will make sure that is not the case going forward.

Thank you, Homero! Thanks for watching them!

Hey Michael! Thanks for reading the article. I agree about it being great to be able to get a peak into the thought process of others especially, like you said, when they line up with your own :)

You can have a blog_posts layout however, the structure that you probably want here is the following:
app > views > blog_posts > index.html.erb

This made my day to hear. Thanks, Mitch! I'm super glad you learned a bunch and hope you enjoy part 2!!!

Thanks, Gary! I appreciate the kind words about the lessons!

Hey Gary, initially I was going to hook into the get fetch step and provide an interface there to provide an option of how to proceed based on the fetch but for this initial pass at building this out a single git pull would have probably been a good call and then build out from there. Thanks for the question! Always nice to get another perspective and reflect back on decisions :)

I would also recommend the Ruby LSP from Shopify if you're going to be using VSCode. They are putting a lot of work into that and it seems that that work is only going to continue and the extension become better and better.

Posted in Arrays in Ruby Discussion

Any scenario where you want to forgot to save the last thing returned in your console or IRB session to a variable. You can also call methods on _ and they will be sent to whatever the last returned object/result was from your console session.

Yep! Check it out here:

I'll make sure we improve the discoverability of this page by adding a link to it in the dropdown or something. Thanks for asking about this!

Posted in Improving form_with Errors in Rails Discussion

Hey Becky! Thanks a bunch, I'm glad you enjoyed it. And yes, fail is a handy one to have in your pocket! Also, if you want to do a similar thing but not cause the big error screen in the browser, you can replace <% fail %> with <% console %> and be able to look at instance variables and such in the console but also see your beautiful app! Both methods are available in your controllers as well :)

Posted in Improving the URL Shortener Design Discussion

No problem! I hope that clears it up for you, Diego!

Posted in Improving the URL Shortener Design Discussion

Hey Diego, the **kwargs parameter is added to the method signature so that you can pass a hash of options to the favicon_image_tag method which will then be forwarded along to the image_tag method. This allows you to be able to pass different options (kwargs) wherever you call the favicon_image_tag method to customize attributes of the image_tag method. Hope that helps!

Posted in How to get from starter to advanced?

There is another section in the path for getting started with Rails along with other things. But the path is where we point everyone to for what you are looking for. Here is the link to where the Rails specific lessons start: https://gorails.com/path#level-two

Posted in Strings in Ruby Discussion

Which link are you looking for?

Posted in Classes & Objects in Ruby Discussion

Hey Alex! I'll try to get that modules video out this week. From here, I would say if you don't feel comfortable with SQL I would say to go the that series in the learning path next. If you are comfortable in SQL, then you should be able to move into the Rails series in the learning path and start working through the projects.

Posted in Organizing Rails Model Files Discussion

Thanks, Terry! Glad you liked this one.

Thanks for sharing that annotate config! I've actually never looked into if there was an alternative to placing the comments at the top so this is great to know now.

It's a lot of work going back and forth but oh the things we do for love ;)

Thanks for reading, Urban!
