Daily blog
I’m progressing through Rails Authentication and am happy that I completed the Omniauth section today. It was my goal and I hit it. Tomorrow I start tackling Devise. Something about OAuth that makes a lot more sense to me now is letting someone else worry about the user and their data (to an extent). I can locally store a password or I can let someone else worry about the security and I can just use that third party to verify a person is who they say they are.
It was a strong day and I moved into Authentication. Authentication is going to be a beast I can tell. However, it looks like because it’s such an important topic there are a lot of best practices and good documentation out there. I still haven’t wrapped my head around the Sessions Controller 100% but knowing that it was almost identical in 3 separate labs tells me it’s a relatively static and consistent concept for what I’ll be doing.
Not as much time spent on my curriculum as a typical Saturday but that’s alright. It’s because of the freeCodeCamp meetup that I Co-Organize (see previous post from earlier today). I still feel accomplished. I’m at a point in the Rails section where I have 4 videos then I’m on the last section before the projects. Tomorrow will be telling as to if I’ll hit my goal of starting my Rails projects on the 10th or not.
I missed writing yesterday. However, I chose to skip the writing while I enjoyed a very productive study group. Not really. We chatted about everything except code mostly because nobody really showed up at the proper time for it. After 3 hours of talking it was late and I decided to not write a blog post.
I also went to a Ruby meetup last night. It was underwhelming this month with only 3 of us in attendance.
Cut it short tonight. Needed to. Learned some more about rendering partials tonight. Main takeaway code example <%= render partial: ‘songs/song_details’, collection: @genre.songs, as: :song %> will iterate through @genre.songs and passes those objects to the partial as song.
My wife bought be a trackball mouse :-)
Prepped some of my possible presentation on REST for Saturday.
That’s all I got.
