Today I learnt about shovel operator. I want to do more of basic exercises of ruby monk to improve my Ruby knowledge. I would like to try to fix my kata because it is red. :-(

@Dino-Herbert indeed... Fortunately, my PR is done for this 24 hour period, and I have time after midnight tomorrow to complete the task. :) I like the RSST zone.

I learned that I can learn a ton by creating rails apps to test a simple idea. I learnt this from "Practicing Rails".

I'm also learning a ton about creating amazing online courses from Pat Maddox. This is seriously one of the most engaging "course" I've done. Reminds me a lot of Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg

I learned quite a bit about working with git through the Terminal. I had completed some tutorials in the past, but never quite understood it. Not saying I have it completely figured out now, but while getting Day 6 and 7 updated, I had to clone a fork, add the files for day 6, push a commit, create a pull request, create and add files for day 7, push a commit (only to find out there was a conflict), then git pull to fetch and merge the commits, push that up, and create a pull request.

As far as engaging online courses, the RubyLearning Core Ruby course has been this way, pair programming, discussions, sharing code. Tons of fun so I decided to stay in 2008, and I am still there.
