Ruby

I'm trying to get a better grasp of Ruby so along with reading Zed Shaw's book I've been doing the lessons on RubyMonk.com. RubyMonk is a pretty good site for learning Ruby, so I'd recommend it. I'm still not the best I Ruby, but I've definitely gotten better. Practice makes perfect. I still haven't solved my Michael Hartl's tutorial issue. Sunday I plan on going to hacker Meetup, so I hope I can get help there. I really can't wait to get back into the tutorial. Once I finish it I want to work on my own Rails site. Not sure what it will be as yet.  That's all for now.

Introduction

Hello! My name is Keturah, I live in Brooklyn, NY and I'm studying to become a junior rails developer. I got the idea to create this blog from Josh Kemp. He was on this same journey last year and he currently has a job as a junior developer. His story has definitely kept me motivated. If you are interested in becoming a rails developer you should check his blog out Josh Kemp. Right now I'm doing Michael Hartl's tutorial, "Learn Ruby the Hard Way" by Zed Shaw, and Chris Pine's "Learn to Program". All three are great learning materials. Currently I'm stuck on chapter 8 of MH's tutorial. I keep getting this error: rails_projects/sample_app/app/controllers/application_controller.rb:3:in `<class:ApplicationController>': uninitialized constant ApplicationController::SessionsHelper (NameError). So far I haven't been able to solve this issue. I'm thinking maybe it's a formatting thing.  I'll see if someone on Stack Overflow or someone at a hacker Meetup can help. Recently I have finished the Ruby 4 Kids airplane laser game, and the ball game. I'm going to push them up to GitHub once I'm done making my own little changes to them. I'm also going to create my own Ruby game. I so excited about all of this. I really want to become junior developer. That's all for now
