Ok, so it’s been over a week since my last blogpost. This is a testament to the ass-kickingly intense course load. I’m keeping up with the homework and managing to tackle all of the extension activities, but it’s not leaving me with much motivation to look at a screen after my commitments have been met!

Last week we learned some SQL and how to integrate it into Ruby.

This week we’re using Sinatra to get Ruby to talk to a webpage. Thursday this week we’ll be given our first full project - produce a full on web app. Exciting!

Anyway, yesterday’s homework was to make a basic game of rock paper scissors, and the extension was to pretty it up somehow.

I, uh… I did this. Those are animated gifs of atom bomb explosions, obviously….

Infinite Jest provided some inspiration…
