Time to Get My Ruby On

I finally completed all the exercises for the Ruby course on Codeacademy!

I should have finished it sooner but got sidetracked by life. Now it's time to move on to the next part and actually build a script.

It was a decent experience using Codeacademy. They explained each part when going through the course and had hints to help you through it. I admit I was completely lost a few times and took me a while to figure out how to do some of the exercises even though they give you the answer after so many failed attempts. I would keep trying before I eventually gave up and looked at the answer.

One of the last sections towards the end went over object-oriented programming that can mix module methods at the class level using extend. This means that class itself can use the methods, as opposed to instances of the class.

module ThePresent
  def now
    puts "It's #{Time.new.hour > 12 ? Time.new.hour - 12 : Time.new.hour}:#{Time.new.min} #{Time.new.hour > 12 ? 'PM' : 'AM'} (GMT)."
  end
end

class TheHereAnd
  extend ThePresent
end

TheHereAnd.now

There a lot more I need to learn and will probably have to go back and go over the course since I have a terrible memory but at least I know a little bit more when it comes to reading some code.

I need to get back to studying so I can get my Ruby on :P
