Hope all is well in your kingdoms.
I call to order the meeting of the Hackers Guild.
Take your seat at the round table.
First order of business, the rules. The first rule of Hackers Guild is you don't talk about Hackers Guild!
Now repeat the mantra:
I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my computer go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will hack you.
I've been locked up in my room hacking away learning what works and what doesn't work with Rails. I've gotten close with google searching, Stack Overflow, and the API's. I've made friends with different gems and git and github for plugins. I'm learning a lot and getting things to work. I just don't know if it's the best way. I got file upload for images working but not for videos. I got authentication up and running. I got a calendar to contain events.
This is all my deliberate practice to learn what I need to implement my own software. My current task is implementing a basketball stat tracking system for one team with a group of players. I've broken it down to 4 models. The models are League, Game, Player, and Stat. I will be able to create a new League that will contain many Games. Each Game will contain the Stats of each Player for that Game. Similar to a box score but only one team. I also want each Player view to show the career stats for each league or year. I'm working on figuring out the relationships between the models. That will help with the routes. I'm also figuring out how to handle fields that require calculating two or more attributes to get the value. Like field goal %, you take the number of field goals made divided by field goals attempted to get the value.
This is my focus.
Is there anything else to discuss?
This closes the meeting of the Hackers Guild.
Live long and prosper
