Time…time..time… what’s happening? The time has flown over again and here I am at the end of week 3.

This week was focused on Ruby and getting the basis right! The weekend challenge was to register for Codewars and reach 40-50 point mark. I managed to get to the 40 points but it was tough. I had to do a lot of ‘googling’ and Google has become my best friend.

Summary of the week is below.

Most Important Things I Learned:


  • If I have spent more than 30 minutes on a Kata (codewars), I should see the solution and move one as I am wasting time.
  • Got a better understanding of yield.

Things I Struggled With The Most:


  • I need to further address procs and lambdas and figure out best practices on when to use them.
  • Selecting the correct method seems to be a problem. I need to use Ruby Docs more often as a reference point.

Changes I Plan to Make Next Week:


  • I will spend 30min most on any problem I am dealing with and see the solution.
  • I will spend more time on procs & lambdas and redo some of the challenges.
