Jungle

A mini e-commerce application built with Rails 6.1 for purposes of teaching Rails by example.

Project Purpose

• Become familiar with Ruby and the Rails framework
• Learn how to navigate an existing code-base
• Use existing code style and approach to implement new features in unfamiliar territory
• Apply previous learning tactics to research and become familiar with a new paradigm, language and * framework
• A simulation of the real world where feature and bug-fix requests are listed instead of step-by-step instructions on how to implement a solution
