Hello, and welcome.

In today's Front-end market, what are the jobs looking for in terms of junior level skills? I have seem to have fallen into a passion for Front-end work. Javascript has intrigued me to to extents I couldn't even explain. It feels like I have been opened to a whole new world of code! Any advice?

benefits on the method .count

Daniel Todd — Mon, 21 Aug 2023 22:00:28 +0000

Hello all,

I have been working on 'ActiveRecord' as of lately, and I was wondering if one could explain the benefits of running:

restaurant.all.length # slower at is runs all data from the table

as compared to:

restaurant.count # finds the unique ID

I understand that this will ultimately speed up the process, but when would it be better to allow for the run of all the data in every table as compared to the unique ID in the .count method?

Is there a specific time one should run one over the other?

DB and understanding the relationship of the JOIN table

Daniel Todd — Sat, 19 Aug 2023 14:13:43 +0000

Hello, all.

Currently learning about the basics of Database, and the relationship of the JOIN table between two different data sets. This is an example of a many to many relationship. When one data set needs to communicate with another, a join table will allow this connection. Now, if someone could elaborate on the importance of this in terms of orginization of the data between the two sets, I would very much appreciate it!!

Daniel Todd

Learning Ruby... any advice?

I am currently attending Le Wagon, and we are working on a food service application for one of our challenges. I am having difficulty understanding fully, the intricacies of an MVC without the utilization of Ruby on rails. Any advice on how I can better understand MVC?
