Hashing it out... get it? Hash? Bad pun I know, but I *am* learning how to manipulate Hashes in Ruby! Oddly enough, or maybe not so much, the application of manipulating Hashes is creating a Histogram. :D Talk about trailing my old profession into my new! It was a pleasant surprise and made it fun to learn!
I really like the course for Ruby more than the course for JavaScript. Ruby does a little less hand holding and a bit more iteration to really make sure you understand what you are doing.
Also, I've decided to keep a notebook too! I've been in academia so long taking notes really does help me cement it into my brain. My notes also make a great resource/reference for when I get stuck on something. I'll apply this to JavaScript when I get back at it soon!
Working two jobs really does cut into my learning time, but I'm still determined to do at least one exercise every day. I want to get this application done by the end of the week so.... wish me luck!!
