Ruby Basics
- Instance variable vs local variable: When using variable inside a class, only instance variable, which are prefixed with the @ character, will be visible to all of the methods in the class. A variable that only exists inside of a code block or methods, is called local variable.

In week two, I learned about both hard and soft skills:

Soft Skills

Hard (Technical) Skills

Ruby Basics from Treehouse
- "for" loop vs "each" loop: The variable used to iterate in the for loop, exist outside the for loop. While in other iterators they exist only inside the block of code that's running.
Mac shortcuts and tricks
Running Ruby locally

In this post, I want to write and share new concepts that I read, practiced, and learned in the first week of the Software Development Apprenticeship Program at Discovery Partners Institute (DPI).

I learned about:

Boilerplate:
- A declaration on line 1, stating that it's an HTML document <!DOCTYPE html>
- An html element that is the ancestor of all other elements. <html> </html>
- The html element should have two children: a head element and a body element.
- The <head> </head> element is where we tell the browser how to process the document; things like what title to put in the browser tab, what style sheets to load, what language to use (we will always use a character set called UTF-8 <meta charset="UTF-8">, which allows for all languages as well as things like emoji), etc.
- The <body> </body> element contains the actual content for the user.

Stay Hungry; Stay Foolish!

First Things First!

I will start writing about my learning journey as a software developer, where I will talk about the hard and soft skills I learn, and this is my first post. Since it will include technical concepts, I wanted to share some articles about technical writing, and I hope you find them useful!
